Most of us feel the need to segregate, as our self image shines brighter, the more unique we feel that we have become. Nolen is only a fictional character in a metaphoric sense, as he represents the effects of our demanding and often cruel culture. At one time or another, we have all seen the world through his eyes and we all fallen victim to some kind of discrimination at one time or another.
I feel a strong connection with Nolen, as he struggles to understand and sometimes undermine the bleak direction of humanity. We call ourselves fancy words, such as sophisticated and intelligent, but I think we can all learn valuable lessons from Nolen's primitive past. I would like to see a world where everyone stopped to think about their actions before they just followed along with the mainstream.
I currently live in a smaller college town in North Carolina. It's large enough to be attractive to a younger open minded crowd and small enough that you can reach out to the masses, when you have something to say. I think it's a good starting point to introduce Nolen and hopefully a place that will welcome him, as they have welcomed me thus far in the two years that I have lived here.ver menos
