By the time Mickey is 18 we began to see a difference in Mickey’s emotions they began to change when he leaves school early and goes into a dead end job that he absolutely hates. This is contrasting with his happiness and has the courage to ask Linda out. This is followed by Linda getting pregnant, due to the lack of income Mickey ask his mum “Mrs Johnson” if they can both stay at her house. This shows that there is a loving relationship between Mrs Johnson and Mickey. The happiness of the wedding has gone bad because Mickey has become redundant.

Another example is shown when Mickey and Edward meet at Christmas. Edward has stayed the same while Mickey has just become jobless, grown up, matured and seen what the world is really like. He is jealous of what Edward has achieved; Edward talks about his mates in university and how much fun he is having. This sense of...
