And of course, she wishes that a girl would move into the empty apartment upstairs so that she could have a new friend close by. But Thomas Neary and his Pop move in upstairs. Thomas writes about his life in his journal - about his father, who spends each night at the tavern down the street, the mother he wishes he had, and the Mallon family downstairs that he desperately wants to be a part of.

Peer pressure is applied within the social framework of the group, the advancement of the interest of one is presented as the equal advancement of all conspirators. What develops from the student’s death is further tragedy in the betrayal between young idealist friends for the sake of their own self-preservation buried beneath truth and lies.America's college campuses will never be looked at the same way again.
