There was two types of people, in Jimmy’s eyes: “words” and “numbers” people. He lives in a society where scientists and mathematicians are prized for their skills, while the writers and artists are pushed aside. Jimmy, being a “word person” in the novel, goes off to a poor and struggling college called Martha Graham Academy, which doesn’t have much of a future. The conditions there were second-rate and carried poor security. Jimmy’s talent of writing is only useful when it comes down to advertisement for the compounds. That is the only thing a word person is good for: using language in order to manipulate people into buying products that they do not need. When Jimmy finds a job, he uses women, not staying with any of them too long, and knows that life is started to spiral downward on
