“I’ve already got my reputation, Waldo. There’s nothing I can
do about that, no matter how untrue or hurtful it might be. But yours-you can
be a stud or a dud.”This is a quote extracted from the book: Town by James Roy.
Each chapter has a new story with different character, which each has their own
unique reputation. The Clearing is a perfect example of how reputation is
portrayed in both good ways and bad way in the book. From this quote the reader
is able to tell that reputation is really important in the book, as it is the
key factor that links all the stories in the book, the reader could also tell
that in the book reputation affect how the character feels about themself and
their actions.
Reputations
are really important in the book. Each character in the book has their own
unique reputation, it is what they are known for and cannot be change, because
reputation is the first impression of someone you know or you do not know, it
will spread like rumours although it might not be true. It can be shown through
their action, their dialogue and their feeling, and at the same time it affect
their action, their dialogue and their feeling, but worst how they are treated
by other characters in the book. In the chapter The Clearing, Josh Waldron
invited Veronica to a party on the cliff. But because Veronica had a reputation
that she would go in bed with any boy, although it was really untrue, Josh
forced Veronica to do something with his brother: Sam against her will.”That’s
my reputation right there, Waldo. CLICK HERE FOR MORE
