Summary
Well, he didn’t necessarily lie. He just didn’t tell the whole truth, as many kids do. In many ways, he’s still a kid, just one that has the weight of all his burdens tossed onto his shoulder. Sometimes, it feels like the weight of the world is lighter than the things he’s been through. He isn’t really going to tell anyone that though.
It would be untruthful to say that Connor doesn’t feel lied to about what was meant to be an idealistic mission. A frazzled nineteen year old watching over gosh-knows how many kids isn’t what he’s been dreaming of since he was seven years old, after all. In the backdrop of rural Uganda, he expresses his misery through pink waistcoats and blind optimism, floating from day to day without really thinking. However, he has to remember that the only difference between a D minor and F major is the way you look at it.

A Character Study On Connor McKinley by With_a_backwards_w

Summary
Connor is broken. He lives in a state of in-between, in a world of barely-realised fantasies and half-hearted lies. He is constantly suffocating in his thoughts when he is alone, like a plastic bag over his head, playing memories in a loop over and over, spiralling, but the spiral never closes, the line that draws the spiral only gets thinner and thinner, like a snowflake. Infinite perimeter, yet finite area. Infinite time to think, yet a finite number of thoughts. But they, whoever pulled the bag over his head, poked just enough holes to breathe. It’s labour intensive and tiring, sure, but he still breathes, never daring to consider taking the plastic bag around his head off. He sees the world as thin grey plastic, synthetic and cheap; a fake smile on himself, a fake smile on Poptarts, a fake smile on Elder Church, a fake smile on everyone, because they were prettier, more enticing, more convincing that way.
A short character study i did on the plane while i was tired and edgy. I found out I’m awful at them but oh well

Summary
But as the world he knew grew, Kevin Price's cracks and faults were slowly brought to life, standing there, on show for anyone to see if they dared stray off the marble path of perception he had so meticulously planned out for them.
Kevin Price is a stellar example of a good Mormon. He's just a little bit cracked, mended with Blu-tack and sticky tape. No one can see it though. Not until Connor McKinley comes along.

Bookmarker's Notes
Because I felt like I was bad, like I deserved to suffer. And you said that there—that there was no hell. But even if there somehow was, if I got sent there, you’d find me and drag me out of it. You said you would kill the devil, that you would piss in his eye, and that you would kill god too if you had to, you would kill all the gods and burn hell to the ground and carry me out. Because I was yours and no one was going to take me away. And I would say, ‘Can you really do that, Rick?’ and you would say, ‘I can do anything I want. Are you doubting me, you wet little snot-person?’

Summary
Man of the household. Breadwinner. Head of the table. Sitting and smiling across from a plain but lovely jewish girl with a respectable family, and a happy boy about 10 years old that looks like he did at that age. Only this boy has a mother who cooks homemade meals and kisses him on the cheek, and a father who tells him he’s proud of him.
Or, Family: an anthology.

Summary
He believes that what patterns really refer to is the phenomenon where you know the end from the behavior of the beginning. And he’s never had much interest in seeing anything through to the end.
