week 4

Do you think that the main character is actually a mediocre, bland person, or a unique man who is just wrapped up in convincing himself that he is boring?

  1. I think he is unique yet thinks of himself as bland. His point of view then convinces people that he must actually be bland.

  2. I agree with your first comment and I half agree with your second comment. I think that his point of view convinces certain people that he is bland, but people like the ear girl that are quite intelligent and intuitive realize that he is actually a unique man.

  3. I agree with you. When I was mentioning other people I meant the readers. Also in the story I is as you said that some people find that he is actually not who he thinks he is.

  4. The ear girl definitely shows a more unique side of the main character, but I don't think he's trying to cover up his more interesting side. I think that he is truly a bland person. Don't even the most boring people have an interesting side to them, even if it rarely shows up?

  5. I think you're contradicting yourself there. The ear girl shows a more unique side of the narrator, yet he's bland, yet he has this rarely shown interesting side to him? I think he's just a human being, no more, no less.

  6. I agree with Hannah. We've analyzed the main character thoroughly and pretty much came up with a mediocre, regular person.
