He would only go hang out with the older guys if his brother was around. I feel like that there is a age difference since when Art is sixteen, he is not as mature as his brother yet. This would make them drastically different. I feel like that once they get older, age wouldn’t matter anymore because they are all mature. Art could never hang out with the older guys by himself since they were his brother’s friends, not his. I feel like it would be awkward for him to hang out with the older guys alone since he is a child compared to them.

The narrator's major source of discontent has been his selfish desire to learn and lead a respectable, safe life as a high-school algebra teacher. When he learns of
