During the thirty days, Alex said very little, drank profusely and spent most of his time shooting targets behind his home.

His dull and average life seemingly pushes him to the brink and makes him start wondering what the point of his existence is if he was “...the surest person to perform nothing today…” (Hawthorne 1).
