其实格洛丽亚说得不一定对,詹姆斯和克拉雷特的成长经历并不是完全类似。后者远远比詹姆斯经历了更多的事情,他游走于堕落边缘,入室盗窃、偷车,这些罪行使他被送到了扬斯敦的少年管制中心而此时的詹姆斯正在经历四年级的颠沛流离。但他们的友情似乎是命中注定的,而且被命运赋予了使命感和历史意义。在和克拉雷特见面之后,詹姆斯对记者们骄傲地宣称,他们两个每天都会联系,已经成为了无话不谈的好朋友。 In fact, Gloria is not necessarily right, James and Clarette’s growth experience is not exactly the same. The latter went much further than James, who walked to the brink of depravity, burglary and car-theft that caused him to be sent to Youngstown’s juvenile control center while James was now in his fourth year Seriously displaced. However, their friendship seems to be destined and has been given a sense of mission and historical significance by fate. After meeting with Clarrett, James proudly declared to reporters that the two of them are linked daily and have become good friends with whom to talk about.
