This short story shows you a normal teen, who doesn’t like school and argues a lot with his mother. Is it correct? When Max meets Ishraqi, he immediately falls for her, but getting to know her story makes him think twice. What’s the difference between these to characters?
Max is a boy and 16 years old; we don’t get to know how he looks like, and just a bit of his personality. He is very tired of school and skips classes just because he doesn’t care, as the following quote exemplifies:” You can't bunk off,” he objected. “We've got a Maths assessment today.” Max shrugged. “Which, you twat, is the exact reason why I'm bunking off”.” (p.1, ll. 28-30). As the quote reveals, he shows no interest and doesn’t take responsibility and he is lazy. Max is mad because his dad left them and thought that they were better without him, but Max saw the pain that his mom went through, and left those words:
“Look after your mum for me,” his dad had said. “She’ll be fine - probably better off without me.” Yeah right, Dad. That’s why I heard her crying every night for weeks after you left.
