I
agree with Sharon on the fact that it was refreshing to see Sal go off on his
own, rather than following “the pack”. That being said, I don’t see Sal’s
reaching out to Remi as him being dependent of Remi like he was with Dean in a
way, I see it more as being resourceful. On everything else that Sharon says
about Remi and his relationship with Sal I agree. I think that it is very
intriguing how Remi is the first character that is presented to us with a true
back-story, and I also agree that it plays an interesting dynamic in his
relationship to Sal because it adds an element of loyalty; something that Sal’s
other friends seemed to lack.
Subsequently,
I also agree with Sharon that the fact that Sal stayed so long with Remi seemed
a bit strange, almost like Sal’s character is changing. The fact that she noted
that Remi getting a job has an aspect of settling down in it is interesting to
me. While I do see her point, at the same time I think one can make an argument
that he was following what was Remi was doing while he also needed to make some
cash so he could be independent. Whether independence reflects elements of
settling down I cannot assert accurately and concisely. Additionally, I never
really thought about Sal as an impulsive character because when I think about
someone as impulsive I think of that person as high in energy and whimsical,
while Sal has neither one of these characteristics, I find Sharon’s description
of Sal as “impulsive” quite accurate.
