Alexa Ferrer Ch 7-8

            If all men are like Dean at one point in their lives, ew. Although chapter 7 was much more fast paced and exciting everything prior to it, I want to slap Dean across the face. In my first blog post about this book I compared Dean to Jay Gatsby. Now I am ashamed I ever made that comparison. Although I still see similarities in the way they handle people and the word choice they chose, Gatsby lives his life in hopes of impressing one girl whereas Dean is just a dog trying to get in everyone’s pants. In the rare instances he is not trying to get in a girl’s pants he is trying to get his friends in a girl’s pants. I am sure a boys perspective on this part would be much different and perhaps I reacted so strongly because I know it is a reality and men are just like that. Now that Sal and Dean have reunited not much has changed. I am not surprised that Sal is just as obsessed as he has been with Dean the entire time. I hope Sal eventually learns to create his own adventures and not be so dependent on Dean. I also wish Sal would realize that Dean is a player and all his happiness is short lived by the way that he chooses to live.
