Greg was the person or kid he was because of family issues which his mom, would always complain to greg about everything. When calling a girl a name there he was going to tell the teacher that he was going to kill his parents and everything that he was going to do was going to be over. Tony phillips

    Greg F. grew up in the 1950s in a comfortable Queens household, an attractive and rather gifted boy who seemed destined, like his father, for a professional career—perhaps a career in song writing, for which he showed a precocious talent. But he grew restive, started questioning things, as a teenager in the late ’60s; started to hate the conventional life of his parents and neighbours and the cynical, bellicose administration of the country. . . .…

    The few times where the author gives the reader glimpses into Julian’s home-life or backstory, the opinions of his parents demonstrate where Julian gets his attitude. Jack tells his mom that Julian’s mom actually photoshopped August’s face out of the class picture and gave out copies (158). This action mirrors the disgust for August Julian expresses. Some of the other kids’ parents who are more accepting provide a sharp contrast to Julian’s mom. For example, Charlotte says “Just so you know, my mom thinks Julian’s mom is a total idiot. She said she thinks people like her are more concerned about what their kids’ class pictures look like than doing the right thing” (172). In the end, his ignorant parents could not accept the changes happening in the school and decide to transfer Julian out…

    Growing up in the recent generations is very challenging. Children at such young ages, even younger than teens have been faced with such perilous decisions. It is especially hard for teenagers to find acceptance at this point in their lives. Here is an instance that is so common in this day and age, yet this particular case is only fiction. A teenage boy named Donny has been going through a few changes in his appearance. His parents, Matt and Daisy, are somewhat disturbed yet they don't say much to him. Then one day Daisy gets a call from Donny's school administrator and tells her that his grades are attitude are dropping scale. He eventually gets kicked out of private school and does poorly in public school. Daisy was concerned and decided to take advice from the school and psychologist to get help from a highly reputable tutor, Calvin Applebee. Instead of Donny's parents talking to their son they hire Cal, which tries to handle Donny's lack of emotion and performance. Donny's performance didn't change with Cal, at least in the school aspect, but Cal kept reassuring Daisy and Matt that it would change and to give it more time. In result, Donny runs away after being sent home because he was expelled for being caught with drugs in his locker and months later he still has not returned home. Who is to blame? Should Daisy and Matt been more disciplined on Donny? Well, in Anne Tyler's short story the Teenage Wasteland this is just what happened. I really enjoyed this story because I feel it really focused on an issue that is so common in our generation. It was easy to read and was straight to the point. I especially enjoyed the role of the dumbfounded parents, Cal's cynical character, and in result of the all their foolishness, the action Donny resulted in taking.…

    These youth sought to dissociate themselves with the values of the generation before them, which had caused a huge income gap and high political tensions in the cold war. Very often these youths abandoned the values of materialism and wealth, an attitude that is shown in Alex from the outset of the book ‘But as they say, money isn’t everything,’. This counter-culture turned into a social revolution throughout much of the western world. Alex certainly represents the ‘moral panic’ of the youth thought of in this era, as generally people thought the new teenagers were escaping social control and would cause havoc in society, as Alex and his ‘gang’ do as he is regularly seen ‘avoiding school’ and searching for ‘ultra violence’ late at night, luring ‘innocent’ girls back to his flat to be drugged and raped. Bateman’s values however contrast greatly to that of Alex, in fact where Alex represents those rebelling from society Bateman certainly shows to do the opposite and spends much time blending in to society with his ceaseless routines of returning video tapes, and dining in high society restaurants, Ellis commits much time to emphasising Bateman’s routine and ‘masking’ himself in society through the ‘idea of a Patrick Bateman’. Ellis has discussed his conformity saying he wanted to create ‘someone who was very emblematic of the period’. Therefore, it should be said that unlike Alex, Bateman’s motivation for…
