Like other young teenagers, Tony also has a lot of dissatisfaction: there are conservative nagging teachers at school, parents and sisters who don’t know him at home, and a group of pig friends and dog friends, until a giant named Frank The rabbit appeared before his eyes. Frank hypnotized Tony to do all kinds of weird things, until Tony's room inexplicably appeared with the wreck of an airplane engine, and a beautiful transfer student sat next to him, and Tony knew that everything would be different. To a high school student in 1988, what time travel was, Tony became increasingly unable to agree with the teacher in the classroom. He yelled at the teacher: You think it is so simple that it can be between "love" and "fear" Defining his own situation, he asked the spiritual master who came to the school to advocate staying away from fear: Are you really happy? What is fear?

[Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]
Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?
Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.
Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.
