All of them. If you want a plot honestly there is none. It's a book that is not a book that you would read in a vacation chair.

jeez that pic of yours really depresses me, just kind of represents how different the world is for people who are normal and those who are less fortunate.

Perhaps I'm over analyzing it, but it still makes me feel in such a way. I mean on one hand, you have the pure love of the youth, he's passion and her want are exemplified even moreso by the boy in the orange shirts ignorance of what is going on. Sort of exemplifying the fine line of maturity, something that the orange boy is deprived of until much much later.

Interesting piece.

yo its op--That's def an interesting perspective. and your point ab the orange shirted dudes maturity is prefaced by a huge IF.

but for me- the orange shirt is over-sensationalizing. he's playing a video game, he knows what hes boy is doing next to him. but he cant just sit back normally while his pal smootches. that would be creepy adn weird. he's gotta put on act- like he is so incredibly into the game.

and that to me is the crux of the picture. it's about choices. about priorities. it's about the feelings of inadequacy in that kid's head that he squashes via overcompensation at the camping noob who just pwned him.

i like to think he is acutely aware of his own situation, and consequently, his sadness.

I didn't think of it like that, rather than him being ignorant of it, he's fully aware but doesn't want to show it. So he pretends to be immersed into the game while subtly showing his own depression.

I like it.
