I was slightly alarmed by the thoughts that Estha had written in his work when was younger. His graphic description on page 150 of traffic safety issues does invoke a very powerful and gruesome image. "The job of a driver is very fatle His famly should be very angshious because the driver could easily be dead." I had previously assumed that Estha's innocence was the reason he reacted the way he did to what was happening to him at the movie theater. I can see from his thoughts that he wrote in grade school, however, that innocence is far from the case. I also feel, however, that Estha wrote the things he wrote for attention, and not because there was an actual part of him that had a problem coping with fatal and death-related imagery.
