In chapter 6, Frank's classmate Fintan is described as a very feminine, religious boy who says he would like to become a saint when hes dead, who curls his hair, and also likes to dance. What do Frank and Paddy's feelings toward Fintan say about Limerick's attitude in the 1930's? Also, why do you think that Fintan did not give the boys food the second time they came to his house?
Please comment on what you think.

Well, first of all from the way Frank describes Fintan, I don't think he's straight. So, I think that Limerick is against self expression like that, because Frank isn't too fond of Fintan, so I think he learns these mannerisms from the attitude of the people around him.
ReplyDeleteThe first time Frank was at Fintan's house, He followed Frank and Paddy to the bathroom and said that he looked at him. I think that because of this Frank probably displayed harsh feelings to Fintan, so he was probably offended but still wanted to be friends with Frank, so as a result he was nice to invite him over, but not too nice as to feed him

i agree with everything donna said and also that i don't think hes straight either.
