Highly Illogical Behavior By John Corey Whaley

Solomon becomes determined that he cannot lose his son, so he does everything he can to find him on the path to the diamond. Solomon opens up to Danny and tells him that his son loves to learn and will one day become a doctor. Danny tells Maddy, “You know Solomon thinks his son will be a doctor someday? Maybe his baby dies in that camp, maybe his daughter gets raped. Who knows, maybe both. Do you realize that that diamond is his only chance of getting his family out of here.” Danny realizes how much Solomon needs to find his family, and it is his first time understanding this because he never had a family for himself. Danny’s objective shifts little by little and he becomes increasingly protective of Solomon because he wants him to find his son. Throughout their mission to find the diamond, Danny watches Solomon risk his life everyday just to see his son, and risk his life to save other people, like the little boy who is injured on the side of the road due to a shooting. Danny’s complete change of heart comes from watching Solomon reunite with his family, and seeing how determined Solomon is to get his son back from the R.U.F, and becoming close to

After the alarm had been raised the girls returned to camp with no sign of Lucy. No one can find her. Lois was called into the camp counselor’s office, who then began to insinuate that Lois was involved in Lucy's disappearance. She asked Lois leading questions, seemingly in an underhanded attempt to get Lois to confess to either killing Lucy directly, or simply allowing her to die. Lois was not quite sure how to answer, and in her mind, the implied accusations follower her for the rest of her life. Soon after the meeting, Lois returned to the cabin she shared with Lucy, and saw that everything was just as she and Lucy had left it, merely waiting there until they both returned. She felt that people were constantly looking at her sideways, making silent accusations with their eyes, condemning

Instantly Lisa began to state that George’s diagnosis of bipolar disorder was a huge and new challenge in their marriage that happen shortly after their son was born. George became defensive and stated that her nagging was a huge challenge. They began to yell over each other and George then stated he didn’t need this crap and he proceeded to leave the house. Lisa said don’t come back followed by the door slamming. Lisa then said see the bullshit I have to deal with. He then went on to express how his bipolar mood swings were too much and that if she knew he was going to be like this when they first met she would not have married him nor had a child with

Adrian stands up for his friend because he believes he should not be judged based on where he is from and what nationality he is. Adrian believes in people being treated equally, so he stands up for what he believes in and tells the other guys to stop picking on his friend. Soon after that, the bar they are in gets bombed. He goes back to the radio station very shaken up and tells news about what just happened on his broadcast to the soldiers. His boss gets mad at him and tells him he is not allowed to read that because it is uncensored news.

All in all, the theme of Highly Illogical Behavior, is to perform certain feats with good reason rather than for self-benefits, this can severely hurt the person even if you are attempting to help.

Jeffries begins to recognise Lisa's intelligence, independence and bravery when she shows interest in the suspected murder case. Lisa has theories about the suspected murder case confirming that "Women aren't that unpredictable...A woman has a favourite handbag that always hangs on her bedpost where she can get at it easily, then all of a sudden, she goes away on a trip and leaves it behind." Jeffries realises that there is more to Lisa than what meets the eye, she is multidimensional, intelligent and not just a beautiful woman who loves dresses. Lisa is dismissed and degraded by Doyle when she and Jeffries tell him about their suspicions, Doyle says "that feminine intuition stuff sells magazines, but in real life it's still a fairy tale." Lisa tells Jeffries that "A woman never goes anywhere but the hospital without packing makeup, clothes, and jewellery." This increases Jeffries suspicions. Jeffries admires Lisa's bravery, when she climbs through the window to Lars Thorwald's apartment. Jeffries put Lisa in danger, when she was caught by Thorwald in his apartment, Jeffries felt helpless. Lisa gains more power as Jeffries realises he needs her to be his legs and relies on her to do the things he can't. Jeffries respects Lisa more once she is interested in the murder mystery as she becomes more involved, coming up with theories, and especially when she broke into Thorwald's apartment. Jeffries sees her in a different light with new eyes, he feels proud of her and looks at Lisa with admiration "she's a smart girl, you should have seen her". Lisa now holds the power in the relationship as she is now able to do the things that Jeffries can't, Jeffries pays her more attention as he realises she is not just a pretty face who loves

When Summer got to the club her best friend Kerri found her and asked if she’d seen their other friend Rachel in the woods because she ran off after getting upset about a boy.

Just about the time Kerri was out of Summers sight a guy hiding behind a tree stepped out and slowly started walking towards Summer.

In Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, where they live there is a lot of handicapped people, and everyone is considered to be all equal. I don't think that people should be paid for their effort because if they can’t do the job than they shouldn’t work there. “That's all right Hazel said to the announcer he tried. That’s the big thing. He tried to do everything he could with what god gave him. He should get a nice raise for trying.” This quote shows that if people get paid for effort than that leads to getting money for doing nothing. “For about half a minute and in a state of high excitement, the announcer tried to say, ladies and gentlemen.” This quite explains that if people are getting paid for not being able to do there job than they should

The short story of “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. takes place within a futuristic dystopian society. Humanity’s governing in this story heavily influences the citizens that inhabit it. By forcing people to wear handicaps to weaken their capabilities, the civilization falls into turmoil. In an effort to change society’s ways, Harrison Bergeron pulls a stunt to show people what life would be like in a world without equality. Many aspects in this story are similar to the ideals cited within “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” by Thomas C. Foster.
