“One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies.” (page 13) I think this is irony because he went to the school. What is funny about it is that there is no way that he fits in to that school. Also, I don't think that the only reason he left was because of how he felt about the school. He was actually expelled!
