Assignment 8
Again and again Campbell gives different, often laughable explanations for his service dog, Judge. He tells people he has an iron lung, that he has SARS, that he is color-blind. These answers serve as diversions, intended to point other characters, as well as the reader, away from the truth, and they act as one of the most prominent examples in the novel of a character concealing his feelings and motivations. We don't yet know what the real reason for the dog. What are your ideas? You only have to give phrase answers on this one. You got lucky!
I think that Campbell is a lonely old man and just keeps the dog around as company.
ReplyDeletei think he just doing it for attention and for fun
ReplyDeleteI think he is actually loonely and he just wanted a companion since he has no one else in his life that he can trust because he is all business.
ReplyDeleteI think he just has the dog around for a pet becuase he has no friends.
ReplyDeleteI think he is lonley and wants someone around!
ReplyDeletei think the dog is his closest friend but at the same time he has a twisted sense of humor and likes to mess with peoples' heads.
ReplyDeleteAfter leaving Julia, he was never able to find anyone else. I think the dog is his companion. Also, he might enjoy "getting away" with taking the dog places he isn't supposed to. In a way it is like he is out smarting people.
ReplyDeleteI think Campbell is completely blind in one eye and 30% blind in the other, yet has a extraordinary sense of hearing. He has the dog because doctors told him he could not walk around in public without it.
