Down With Dwight

After this section of the book I wouldn't be surprised if Jack turns out to be, yet another version, of the boy who cried "wolff". After his little bathroom scandal, he got into deep trouble. It just so happened to be in that moment where Jack actually felt sick: go figure. Did the vice principal believe it? Not for a second. Jack has told so many lies that he's finally starting to believe them himself, Jack expresses on page 78. He was starting to believe in his own innocence of the situation. Not only does he have himself convinced of this false innocence, he's got his mom on a leash, practically, with his lies. I feel bad for her in this case because she hasn't raised him in a way to be like this. But in another way I don't feel bad for her because she hasn't given him more discipline. I'm not trying to say his mom is a bad person, she just could have made a couple of better choices. Anyways, Jack's in for it now because he's going to be spending a lot of time with Dwight. Hopefully this will knock some sense into him, but in my opinion living with Dwight will only make things worse - for Jack and for mom.
