The Character of Nothing (!) (Character Analysis (2))

Nevertheless he is extraordinary in maths considering his other skills.

“What about it, Zero?” asked Mr. Pendanski. “What do you want to do?”

“I like to dig holes.”

He can very quickly calculate numbers off the cuff. That is quite interesting for me. Without being tranied, doing such good things in math is an uncommen talent. Thanks to this skill, the symbol of naivenness becomes the symbol of smartness, too. See, that’s why I like Zero.

His ability in math reminded me an unforgettable character of an unforgettable movie. Yes, Raymond Babbitt a.k.a. Rain Man. Fort the ones who didn’t watch the film (Shame on you!), he is an autistic man who is extremely good at maths. Dustin Hoffman was Raymond. He is a remarkable character who can pass through and make you cry. Here is a part of the film in which Raymond shows his talent.

We started with Zero and finished with Dustin Hoffman. Pretty cool, ha?? :D I would prefer talking about Rain Man but I still must say that Zero is a bold teenager, too. Running away from the camp, especially from Camp Gren Lake, isn’t something that everybody can do.

An illustration of Zero and Stanley in the boot.
(I didn't do it)

40 pages left. Stanley and Zero are in the middle of the desert. I can’t wait to learn what is going to be next. So computer out, book in.

See ya!
