Stan is extremely suicidal but doesn’t really show it until verse two, saying that he sometimes cuts himself, which I imagine he would be doing often, just to see how much he can bleed, just because of the fact that a person he has met once and is very famous and busy will not write him back, in verse 3 Stanley says that he is driving 90 miles an hour on the freeway after drinking alcohol driving towards the end of a bridge, if he is not asking to
He happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is found guilty and sentenced to spend time at a boy’s detention camp. In both the movie and the book the camp is portrayed in the same way.

is true in the extreme for Stanley, he does what he wishes and disregards the consequences. It is not a motto he actually employs towards the remaining characters; thinking only of himself, he does not care if anyone else is "comfortable" or not. Through dialogue such as this, Williams asserts to the reader/audience the fact that Stanley inherently fails to take into account the repercussions his own requirements and desires have on others.
