The Failed Student and the Sparrow: A Story of Bullying and Academic Future
The Moose and the Sparrow is a story about bullying and the failed student. The protagonist, Moose, is a big man who was never successful in school. He is angry at the world and Mr. Anderson, his former teacher. When he meets Sparrow, a young student who is also failing, he takes out his frustration on him. Sparrow responds to the roughing up by causing his death, although it is significant that he finds a way to let Moose actually kill himself by lunging across the bridge. The story is set in a world where language is twisted and the world is a dark place. Moose is a symbol of the failed student who never had a chance, while Sparrow represents the academic future that Moose could have had if he had not been beaten down by the system.
