  • Andy Clark belonged to the jocks. He was a wrestler.
  • Really cocky, and very masculine. He believes he’s a winner. Andy is very stuck up and kind of aggressive.
  • He always trying to proof how cool and strong he is by always trying to fight Bender. 
  • He kind of has a softside for Alison. He would also stand up for Claire or Brian if John was picking on them. His attitude toward John is very aggressive and hostile because John always does something that triggers him.
  • He doesn’t have a good relationship with his father. He does whatever he can to please him and live up to his expectations.
  • Andy cant think for him for himself. He hides it by doing what people tell him. Scared that he can’t be as cool as his father.
  • Andy aspires to be himself and not his father. He wants not to be like his father.
  • The scene at the end where they were sitting in a circle and andy was talking about how he only does things because his father was talking about how much cool thing he use to do in high school  and at first he wanted to be like his father and now he realizes it’s not worth it 
  • That he is not as tough and not so much as a jock then he thought he was.
  •  When he walked in he still had a very macho mask to begin with. As time went on we saw this mask deteriorate. He started to become very sensitive and opened up about what really happened and what is going on with his dad.
