Do Well and Let Them Talk
8 comments:
Toby realizes that he needs to change the way he acts in front of Dwight so that he can prove himself to his mother that he is a good kid.
Toby realizes that the whole new deal he is getting from crossing the continental divide is not all he thought it would be by meeting more terrible male figures in his life.
Dwight’s terrifying driving shows Toby that there will be ramifications for crossing the continental divide to be able to create a problematic free life.
Toby agrees to live with Dwight for another new start, but he soon discovers that this new start could once again be worse than the last one.
Toby leaves his mother to go live with Dwight because he can tell that his mother in a way wants him to give it a try and because he wants to belong to a conventional family.
Toby attempted to leave behind his life and start fresh without jerks in his life, but he took a wrong turn and ended up with the worst of them.
Toby is always dreaming of a new a life, of wealth and fortune, but now he is off to live with Dwight and he is in for more than he bargained for.
“To be thirsty; to say, “I thirst;” to close one’s eyes and see the giant world that is born each time the eyes are closed; to see one’s death; to see the darkening clouds as the tragic cloth of a day of mourning; to be the one mourned; to open the dictionary of the Beyond and discover what one suspected, that the only word in it is nothing; to try to open one’s eyes, but not to be able to; to feel the mouth burn; to feel the sudden presence of what, again and again, was not said; to translate it and have it remain unsaid; to know at last that nothing is more real than nothing.”
