Rob is a person who “never talks about himself” so, the information his friends have on him is all they obtain(91). When his friends “pulled up Rob’s file” the information they discovered did not amount up (89). But maybe there is more to why Rob acts this way, Rob could be poor and he could be really insecure about that, for fear that it will destroy his social standing.
