Question 4



What's revealed is why Adam Stanton wanted to be the head of the Willie Talos hospital. First the reader reads and thinks oh, Adam, he's such a great outstanding citizen. Living in a crappy dump of a house and helping out all these people in need. "How do you even recognize the good?"-page 359. Adam says this to Willie, but looking back on it, it now seems like he was asking himself, even though he keeps doing good, he is unable to recognize it. "They told him about me and then how that was they only reason he was ever made director and how now the Governor was going to dismiss him as-because he had paralyzed his son with a bad operation-"page 544. When Anne comes in hysterical explaining all this to Jack, the reader starts wondering what's up with Adam, why is he being not that nice. If you look throughout the book there are all these weird instances where Adam and Anne will randomly fight, or when on page 164 when Jack catches Adam staring at him while he's checking out Anne. For some reason Adam's face flushes with color when Jack sees him doing this and starts running proclaiming a race. Now it might be seen as some weird form of protectiveness or jealousy over his sister. When Adam kills Willie the reader is not just tipped off, but has evidence that Adam was not a wholly good person thrown in their face. Adam goes berserk and kills the Boss just because the someone had told him that the Boss had slept with his sister and that that was the reason he got the job, and now he would be fired. The last part was probably untrue, and Adam didn't seem to mention that as much to his sister. He only really cared about the fact that his little sister was sleeping with big bad Willie Talos, the Governor, the Boss. He said he would not be made pimp to his sisters whore, that's a brutal thing to say to someones sister. The reason Adam wanted to be made head of the Willie Talos hospital is because he wanted his little sister to look up to him, he wanted Anne to like what he does. Adam from the moment that you see him staring at Jack to the moment you see him dying on the ground, is always close with his sister as Anne says, he always seemed very protective over her and didn't want her mixing up with the wrong people, a.k.a. Willie.
