Comment on Felipe's Post

       I too think that this novel is one that is strange to say the least. I mean I can’t imagine voluntarily watching a guy have sex with my girlfriend  (or whatever she is to Dean) and be completely comfortable with it. However, I do believe that this makes the novel and specifically Dean’s character a little more in a variety of ways. I think that this scene just adds to the idea that Dean is definitely a little insane and that he is either scared of relationships or is trying to avoid one for some reason. I also picked up on the idea that Felipe discusses involving Dean “blushing” when Sal comments on their great friendship. As I predicted in my post, I believe that this novel is going to change a little bit in the coming chapters based on how involved Sal gets in Dean’s life. As Felipe states at the conclusion of his post, Sal has not been involved in anything as of late and I think we are going to see his role come into play fairly soon. Sal will have some sort of influence on Dean’s personality and we may also see another side to Sal that we have yet to see.
