“shore, come on with us and we’ll all screw ya at ten thousand feet” and the way he said it was so funny and casual, and in fact serious, that the girl wasn’t shocked at all but somewhat pleased.” (27)
Japhy said this and it shows how he treats women. He believes that they are just sex objects but he has a way of controlling them and talking to them that they actually like him and fall for him. He has a way of saying things and his spirituality make them like him.
“Don’t you think it’s much more interesting just to be like Japhy and have girls and studies and good times and really be doing something, then all this silly sitting under trees?” (33)
Alvah says this to Ray showing how others in the book view him. They don’t really understand what Ray does and think it doesn’t have a purpose. Someone like Alvah would rather just live life and not worry about what will happen. They don’t know what Ray gets out of tree sitting.
