15、n who was the main character. He was not always correct in his judgments about the way life was, although he had strong opinions. I liked to read about how he felt and what heunderstood.

27、le in this way. It was a way of expressing my feelings about the world around me. However, my family didnt agree with this. They said it made me look lazy and careless in my attitude. People thought I didnt care about my parents either. They were worried about me and about my appearance attracting u

28、ndesirable people.I know they were just trying to show their love to me.
