The novel is a very democratic form. It allows for the expression of many voices, many points of view.

Security is sleeping in the back seat of the car...When you're a little kid, and you've ben somewhere with your Mom and Dad, and it's night, and you're riding home in the car, you can sleep in the back seat...You don't have to worry about anything...Your Mom and Dad are in the front seat, and they do all the worrying...But it doesn't last! Suddenly, you're grown up, and it can never be that way again!

真相往往是丑陋的，但它必须被说出来。

Little bitty stinging rain, and big old fat rain, rain that flew in side every ways.
