![]() ![]() ![]() The way that some of the teachers are portrayed is as shocking as it is realistic, there is the ironically named Manners who wants nothing more than to be transferred to an all-girls school so that he can perve on, and perhaps have affairs with, the students there, and Solly who has resigned himself to the fact that things are never going to change so it seems pointless to keep trying. Through Miller's character, we see the importance of bystander intervention and just how difficult it is for that one person who could make all the difference in the world to stand up. The author taps in, and nails, some of the most shocking parts of what makes some teenagers turn bad-most notably, the inability to think independently and outside of the confines of the group. There are parts of this novel that may as well be set in modern day. ![]()
