Crabbe is my essay about the book Crabbe and why he ran away
Crabbe
Crabbe decides to run away from home because he's unhappy with his life. Much of this
unhappiness is the direct result of the poor guidance he receives from the bad adult role models
with whom he is surrounded.
Crabbe decides to run away because he's unhappy with his life. There are many signs that
show Crabbe's unhappiness. Crabbe's parents make him feel like he's not good enough to be
their son. They never let him do what he wants to do and they dictate his life to what they want.
Crabbe's relationship with his parents is that it is a dictatorship. Crabbe says, "I wasn't alone.
My Mother swallowed valiums everyday; my Father drank heavily, if you counted the wonderful

Beaker Baker. Crabbe dislikes Fat-Ass Grant because he busted him for drinking in school. "He
was king of jock city, the phys ed. Department, and his idea of a stimulating lesson was to blow
his whistle, roll a couple of basketballs out onto the court, and yell, 'Okay, scrimmage! Warm up
for ten minutes.' And waddle back into his office where he's lower his two hundred into an old
swivel chair and flip through a sports magazine for the rest of
