"He was a nice boy, a friendly boy, and very shy, and it made him bitter." (Hemingway 12)
I am very often misunderstood. Most people make fun of me because I am Jewish. I haven't experienced the shame until I went to Princeton. At Princeton, everybody made fun of me. That is mainly the reason why I am so sensitive now. As a child, I grew up with Jews so I didn't know what it was like to be mocked because of my religion. I was hurt and confused as to why the people at Princeton treated me the way that they did. That is why I am so attached to Brett. She was actually nice to me despite my religion. I don't want to believe that she is not interested in me. That is why I lashed out on Jake and Mike when they tried to explain that to me. I lashed out on Pedro because I didn't like the idea of Brett being with someone else. Even though it was hard, I finally understand. I am used to being mistreated anyway.
