Frank’s need for stimulation could clearly be seen as an adolescent when he, after running away and surviving on cashing fraudulent checks, desired to partake in even more daring crimes as a result of the mere exposure effect in which the thrill of committing these crimes without any repercussion led to his increasing preference for them. In a way, the deceptive fraudulent checks that Frank created were directly representative of his deceptive nature since they could not easily be validated and had to travel weeks across the country. Frank’s desire to partake in increasing risky crimes during his merge led to the furthering development of his antisocial personality disorder as he took on greater impulsive acts of social deviance such as impersonating a Pan Am pilot and forging Pan Am payroll checks for over two million dollars. Utilizing his superficial charm, pathological lying, and lack of empathy Frank impressed and exploited people to feed his id-driven desire to commit more impulsive, daring crimes. The thrill of living on the edge of getting caught by the FBI, reached a turning point when Frank confidently impersonated the alias of a secret service agent and lied to avoid getting caught by Carl Hanratty, the lead investigator for his case.

Also, when he goes to look into enrolling in secondary school with his mother at his side, the Christian Brother there slams the door in his face due to his street appearance. Regardless of his high intelligence, he is denied a higher education by the Church based on his economic status. The night before his 16th birthday Frank drinks his first pint and strikes his mother; on attempting to confess to a Jesuit priest, the door is again closed to him: “He says, Go away. You’re drunk. Child like you drunk as a lord ringing for a priest at this hour. Go away or I’ll call the guards…. You’re drunk and you’re not in a proper spirit of repentance (340).” Frank is panicked about the condition of his eternal soul but is forced to remain in a state of sin because of the lack of compassion by this priest. The transformation is complete: Frank is no longer the innocent little child who runs to the Church to unburden his soul, but instead he is a cynical adolescent who has lost his faith in God.
He was compelled to make their wrong right and did so by taking the case to trial. He viewed this as a way to turn his life and career around by doing what was right, but he discovers quickly that Ed Concannon was always one step ahead and through many corrosive acts almost derails Frank’s case.

However, after his check is rejected, he turns instead to impersonating a Pan Am pilot after seeing one sign autographs to a small child outside the bank. After acquiring a uniform from the company by saying that he “lost” his, he forges his credentials and passports after he creates a fake, Pan Am Air salary check and successfully cashing it in. His need for money to survive on his own drives these decisions to act on these illegal activities, outweighing the cost he will end up paying for committing them. Part of the Rational Choice Theory is whatever techniques the criminal learns and perfects to avoid detection from authorities. Frank’s first run in with authority is when FBI Agent Carl Hanratty tracks him through his forged Pan Am bills to a hotel he was staying at. In Frank and Carl’s first meeting, Frank impersonates a Secret Service agent named Barry Allen (after The Flash) when confronted by Carl’s gun, convincing the agent long enough in order for him to escape.

Maybe that’s what I was born to put on the page, he thought.” This proves the importance of relaying the thoughts and experiences of their lines. Secondly, another main point of the article is that Frank was embarrassed about his poverty stricken, abandon filled life. McCourt said, “’When you have nothing—no TV, no radio, no music—you have only the language. So you use it. We were street kids—we saw the absurdity and laughed at it. And we were fools; we were always dreaming. Bacon and eggs—we dreamed of that’” (Kornbluth, 200).
