An example of this is in chapter 1 when we learn about Edward’s nickname Fast Eddy. He is given this nickname because he has the talent to talk himself into and out of sticky situations. Another example that shows how Edward only thought about socializing in school is in chapter 2, when he says “a big chunk of school is social” and in chapter 3 when his own friend Cody tells him that “he’s lazy and does not take school seriously or care if he gets good marks”. In chapter 7, towards the middle of the story, Edward becomes more aware of the fact that what he was doing was wrong and considers confessing to Dr. Clintock.
