Characters In Strip Cuts By David Drayer

982 Words4 Pages

A novel called Strip Cuts is a very entertaining book that you will never sleep through. The humor, bad language, and the explicit sex scenes and disturbing behavior will have you go deeper into the book. David Drayer is the author of the book and he writes about a main character named Seth Hardy throughout this novel who struggles to fit in with society. There are many chapters in this book where you will read about different main characters that live in Cherry Run with Seth Hardy. I love this book because it’s so entertaining and well written but I did not like some disturbing behavior. “Peeping Tim” I really like this chapter because it’s about young boy spying on his neighbor name Jodi through his window and she is fully naked. (87) One of the humors in this story is when Jodi sees Tim spying on her: “her mouth dropped open and her arms went over her breasts, squashing them as she covered herself” (88). Another humor is when she gives him a haircut and asks Tim, “isn’t that the cutest little haircut?”(95) There’s not really a lot of bad language in this chapter …show more content…

The reason I really didn’t like this chapter because Seth gets beat up real bad in this chapter: “Coarsen crushed his knees into Seth’s chest.” (70) And another example of bullying is when Coarsen shouted, ‘One, Two, Three!’ he shouted and Seth was dragged through the grass and into the weeds of the tree patch.” (71) There was definitely a lot of graphic language in this chapter a lot of f-bombs and a-holes being said throughout the chapter. One f-bomb was said by Coarsen “Holy Fuck,” (71) and by: “We ain’t got time for this shit. Heinie’ll be back any fucking minute.” (71) The point of view of this chapter is third person limited and the author works well to show how others’ actions impact on the main
