They help you develop your imagination which can ...

... personality was gradually changed during the story by Phineas’ more outgoing personality. While reading this story I was under the impression that Gene was a very smart person. Then once he began to spend time with Finny, the two boy’s personalities started to combine. Usually when this happened the boys did things that were against the rules. An example of this is when Finny talked Gene into skipping school and going to the beach. “The beach was hours away by bicycle, forbidden, completely out of all bounds.

But at the same time, the characters in the stories appear to be part of a "lost generation" themselves. In "The Three- Day Blow," Nick and Bill spend a leisurely afternoon talking about baseball and books while enjoying a good "ole'" bottle of Irish whiskey ...

(Chapter II) Pip is brought up by his sister “by hand”, and that has become a perfect reason for his sister to abuse him. When he starts to see Miss Havisham, he is looked down by Estella, who would abuse him mentally by saying the meanest words. She came back, with some bread and meat and little mug of beer. She put he mug down on the stones of the yard, and gave me the bread and meat without looking at me, as insolently as if I were a dog in disgrace. ...
