"It was John, then, they were all after" (156). This quote is from the part of the book after John's identity is shared with others. His father, the D.H.C., partially made him famous. But more than anything, his being a true savage in a civilized world made him even more famous. People have always had this fascination with odd things. From the freak shows and circuses of the 1920s to "My Strange Addiction" and "Ripley's Believe it or Not" type shows today. In the book, Bernard even throws a party where people can go and meet the "Savage." Which by the way, totally makes me think of Pocahontas and John Smith's letters we read last year. I also find it odd that John is the one considered a "Savage." I almost think that the civilized people in this book are more savage than John is.
