The one to the right is filled with the standard blue lockers and a scarce amount of people. The one to the left only connects to two classrooms so there is very few people. After going down the short one, there is a T junction in the hallways. There is an emergency exit fifteen feet away to the left, and to the right, there is a congested, never-ending hallway. Walking down the long hallway is

Now that I look back at it though it might have been the best decision for my well-being because then I would of not been able to meet the people that I met at Chamblee Charter High School.

    As a result, Jack retreats into his imagination to be all of things he wishes he was. When Jack forges his letter of support for prep school, he “believed in it more than [he] believed in the facts arrayed against it” (Wolff 213). Although he is not adequate for prep school, he fantasizes that he is an exemplary student while he wrote the recommendation letter talking about his prodigious qualities. Not only does Jack lie often, but he also convinces himself that the lies he claims are the truth. An instance of Jack convincing himself that his lies are the truth is shown when Jack is sent to the principal’s office and he says, “The more I insisted on [my innocence] the angrier he got, and the angrier he got the more impossible it was for me to believe that I deserved such anger” (Wolff 78).
