    The brisk trek through rough wilderness had taken its toll on the portly fog of a man. Now wheezing, he bowed low to prop up his arching frame on a knee high boulder on the side of the path. He watched with passive intrigue as giant sweat droplets fell to earth. Each one making a crater in the previously undisturbed soil carpeting the seldom used trail leading up to the Burbank overlook. He wanted nothing more than to feel the wind blow across his puffy face when he got to the top.…

    T. Coraghessan Boyle’s short story, “Greasy Lake,” is a work of fiction that is meant to display the absurdities of the American teenage experience. Published in 1985, Boyle is quick to contextualize the work within an 80s teenager’s frame of reference; he opens the story with a lyric from a Bruce Springsteen song, “Sprit of the Night,” which acts as Boyle’s first symbol in the story, a tribute to the teenagers of the decade in which the story is published. But, from the content, it can be surmised that the story takes place near the time of the Vietnam War, so Boyle’s appeal to 80s rock culture makes the work symbolic, meant to encapsulate the teenage male spirit. Through a series of symbols, Boyle’s story both depicts and satirizes the teenage American male ethos. Boyle’s language often contains metaphors that entrench the reader deeper in the…

The one-legged Sullivan remembered getting to the O’Learys’ house at around eight o’clock, but left after only a few minutes because the O’Leary family was already in bed. Both Patrick and Catherine had to be up very early in the morning: he to set off for his job as a laborer; she to milk their five cows and then deliver the milk to the neighbors.…

Henry also was not very adept in maintaining good connections between him and his friends. The only one true concern and care he had was Catherine, with which whom he shared what one could consider an obsessive relationship.
