The Weirdos

nothing to do with her she took them personally.” [pg 47]She says this after mentioning how cruel and nasty the school was compared to Garland farms, where all Cap ever learned was how to be a hippie, which in a way reflects throughout the whole story. When Cap arrives in C-average he is immediately known as the weirdo, even weirder than Hugh Winkleman, who upon Zach’s examination is the biggest weirdo in the middle school, and since Zach the big, popular jock who picks on the weak believes in this so does everyone else. Immediately when Cap arrives Zach replaces his image of Hugh with Cap, stating “ Standing beside him was the strangest looking kid I’ve ever seen. He was tall and skinny as a rake. I swear he’d never been anywhere near a barbershop in his life. His long blond flyaway hair stretched all the way to the middle of his back. His clothes looked like pajamas- homemade pajamas. And his shoes were something out of a ¨social studies project.” He later says “ Hugh Winkleman , you’re a lucky man¨. With the arrival of this new kid , all the losers in school were bumped down a space. “ All in all, Zach’s opinion of Cap is that he is a misfit, loser and a total weirdo. This opinion is shared by many fellow students. As a tradition at C-average Cap becomes the new school president, as the biggest geek becomes this. Though in the story several events take place that make Cap become the hero of the middle school. He slowly transforms from a lowly hippie to a school’s hero…

To use the term “weirdos” in a headline is very demoralizing. As used here, “Trump has climate change weirdos everywhere freaking out” (The American Spectator, Aug. 30 2017), The American Spectator is calling out a very large group of individuals a crude name. The group of individuals who believe in climate change include a very large portion of the population. We are all mostly aware of the definition of “weirdos” or “weirdo”, but as stated in the oxford dictionary it means “A person whose…

Mallory Cattle catastrophes After a whole disastrous string of events containing many visits to the emergency room, an unrepaired broken tooth, life changing tragedy, and many legal issues that prevented me from staying at my own school, I journeyed to a new tiny school in the trash can of Los Angeles called Summit View West. Confused, overly optimistic, and determined to start a new, I did my best to start a new reputation; unlike my old one: “That Gay Awkward Weirdo”. Because I had Hung out…

I have read many short stories in my time. Some of them have well rounded characters, some of them have flat characters. Some characters in narratives are easy to understand, everyone knows everything about them, but, there a few stories where the protagonist is misunderstood. There is one character that sticks out among all of them I know. That character is Seymour Glass, the protagonist in “A Perfect Day for Bananafish”. This is also the character I will be focusing on in this essay. We know…

After read chapter 4, I think the most plausible in explaining present day delinquency is differential association theory because according to Edwin Sutherland who developed this theory, delinquency was a learned behavior and I believe this is true. But who and where do people learn the delinquency from? The other people who was interacted with them. “Who keeps company with the wolf will learn to howl” This sentence could be the good example for this theory, it means if you associate with…

They were the misfits The rebels The boys with glasses Girls with braces The ones who sat on the first bench The ones who chilled with imaginary friends The weirdos The freaks The nerds They were all round pegs in square holes; Round pegs that fit into square holes. But I, I was a round peg too gigantic to fit in; Too colossal, too enormous; too elephantine; TOO FAT to fit into a square hole. My mother said it didn’t matter; At least I wasn’t confined within the four walls of a square; But how…
