B.o.F. Quote

"A couple of guys asked M.F. to the dance, but they were jocks, of course, and I explained to her once again that she couldn't go out with jocks because they weren't cool." (Bardi 129)

This quote could seems to be Heather's jealousy kicking in. She does care about image in the book which could be what this is talking about but i find it to be going a different way. Heather believes that if she can't have something then nobody can, especially M.F. This is a prime example of indirect characterization.

  1. Completly agree with you sir, Bardi did a good job indirectly describing characters like Heather. The thought of a person like Mary Fred being "cooler" then her definatly kicks in the jealousy in Heather.
