FATKEDRULZTHAWURALD

the very first thing established in this book by the narrator is. Troy is fat. extremely. fat. about a hundred -two hundred lbs overweight. Second; his brother hates him. his brother is perfect, which -according to troy- all perfect people want nothing to do with the fat kid. the fat kid does everything wrong. troy says everything he tries to do normal, makes him normal because he's fat. I'm so fat. people are staring at me
fat kid just sat down. oh no.
fat kid didn't order the french fries. gasp.
fat kid just realized he forgot he was fat for a second. weird.
fat kid breaths funny, fat kid talks weird, fat kid slobbers, fat kid huffs, fat kid doesn't walk fast enough, fat kid is a freak because he is so fat. fat kid plays the drums
fat kid doesn't want to wave his arms because he is too fat.
fat kid standing looks like a lowlife.
Troy doesn't believe that -even though hanging with rock stars is a dream of his, he shouldn't do it if he got the chance because he is fat. My theory (for this constant annoying complaining) is that the author wants to show how Troy really doesn't have a mind of his own. he talks about himself him third person when he puts himself down. Now, i have two theories for this.
a) he does this because he wants to fit in with everybody else in his life, like his perfect brother. and he begins to talk about himself in third person to feel like he isn't the fat kid because when he thinks about it, he does see the things he does as funny, like running. (cause he's fat) so I'm thinking, he just goes with what everybody else thinks because he thinks that it will make him normal.
b) because he hears so many people say it, he's beginning to believe it. when he hears his brother call him a fat looser, he is just like... yeah he's probably right....hmmm....(it kinda makes me wanna slap this kid) like, really? stand up for yourself man.
Another strong thought i have about this book, is that i find it weird how he refers to himself as the fat kid. kid. what seventeen year old calls himself a kid?
