rockin the rocking horse?!


wow. im not gunna lie. that discussion in class today was pretty disturbing. what is going on with this kid?? so let me just get this straight..hes old? like 17?? i kept picturing him as like a little kid so i didnt find it that disturbing. but after we talked about it today..well wow. thats all i can say. i mean who even thinks about writing anything of this sort??

also, i feel like i kind of understand it much better after our discussion. so he basically associated luck with love and approval so that why he felt the obligation towards being lucky. i still dont really understand why he wouldnt want his mom to know that he is the one who won all the money..that part i get confused about. you would think that if he thought he would be loved  much more if he was lucky and brought in money, then he would be overjoyed to tell her that he is the one who one the money. i guess he didnt want to hurt his dad or take his place or something?? i dont know..
