Time to face reality Tommy...

At the end of chapter 6, we are left with the idea that Dr. Tamkin did in fact take all the earnings and leave. Just as how Wilhelm had stated earlier, how Dr. Tamkin was not trustworthy at all.

From what I can infer, I completely disagree with Tommy. In fact, I believe deep down he is jealous of Dr. Tamkin and his way of dealing with problems. He tries to make the reader believe that somehow Dr. Tamkin is crazy, that he is fake and lies just because he mind view is totally different from those of others. So just because it's different its bad?

At times, this makes me dislike Tommy. All he does is complain and he is so caught up in what other people think of him, and all of society's nonsense that when someone like Dr. Tamkin who is willing to help ends up being depicted as the bad guy. At this point, I feel pity towards Tommy. Complaining does not get you anywhere, it just makes you run around in circles around your problems. Like they say, 'you want change, be the change'. If he really wants to solve all his problems, he might as well accept that it is partly his fault, his attitude instead of blaming it all on money, his father and bad luck.
