In the book all off his class peers disliked him for no apparent reason, they thought just because he acted a bit weird they decided not to talk to him or pay attention to him. Robert did not care about school, he did not listen in class and his grades were not very good, he even said he does not care about school. So as you can see Robert Billings was one of those kids who did not care very much
I always remember that.” (Page 54). Lockie did not like some of his teachers and they did not get on very well. Well lets just say he ended up in the guidance officer’s office a few times. In woodwork he did not get a proper project because Borax thought he could not do one, because Lockie did not know what the names were of the tools he was using. The guidance officer, John East got along with Lockie, they talked about what was happening at school.
“I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY HE DIDN’T LISTEN, AND ALL THE TIME HE WASN’T THERE” (7). Johnny seeming to be the least affected by the teacher’s manipulation and even being her biggest skeptic first to refute anything she had to say. The diction used here dehumanizes johnny’s father by not giving him a name, and it is evident that the teacher is the only reason Johnny feels this way and would come to this conclusion. Diction was not the only thing to change in the story; the characters underwent their own changes as

Charlie is quiet, keeps to himself, and does not enjoy being the center of attention. As most adolescents attempt to find their place in the world they often find mentors to help guide them through conflict. Both Holden and Charlie search for the meaning of their lives, go through conflict, and find someone to help guide them. Both novels are coming of age books because the main characters search for meaning in their life. Holden has trouble staying in one place for too long, for example he has been expelled from four schools.
A large portion of Holden’s depression comes from failing multiple times. He has flunked almost every class he has taken except English. When he fails, his classes, he does not care about it and goes on with his life. Holden is kicked out of Pence Prep because of his low grades and his inability to take school seriously. This quote shows that he does not care about his future in education.
Another theme in the book is Abandonment and as you will see in this text, the youngster has nothing going for him. As some of my class mates would say "its almost funny how unlucky this kid gets" but even after all that he keeps his chin u and he keeps going. Thats where the last
This does not support the social structure theory at all. Growing up, Dennis had trouble in school, even as a college student. The letters he sent to the authorities were full of grammatical errors. He was found to have some mental issues when he was eventually caught. This supports the trait theory (Siegel, 2008 p. 108).
Every day we look around and we see people of a different race or color and forget about their pasts. Most of them have been oppressed or hurt by society in one way. In class, we look at how wrong these people were treated. Most teens these days shrug or fall asleep during the topic of racism or white “superiority”, yet they don’t realize that by doing that they are showing their own ignorance. If you heard the word Black Codes, what would come to your mind?
