Aaron As The Counselor

Improved Essays
While reading the book, I understood both sides of the characters Sam and Aaron, Sam as that person like most of us waiting for the right time and prolonging things to be done. And Aaron as the counselor helping Sam understands the game of life and its true meaning, but also I think it was Sam’s mind who made him appear. As a future counselor having a secure place to speak with the client, in an environment which is quiet and that person feels important because its there time. Regarding the book Aaron as the “counselor” took Sam for a walk and they stop at a restaurant, which was empty and would more confortable for them to talk.
