“A boy, if he’s lucky, discovers his limitations across a leisurely passage of years, with self-awareness arriving slowly. That way, at least he has plenty of time to heroically imagine himself first. Most boys unfold in this natural, measured way, growing up with at least one adult on the scene who can convincingly fake being all-powerful, omniscient, and unfailingly protective for a kid’s first decade or so, providing an invaluable canopy of reachable stars and monsters that are comfortably make-believe” (pp. 30, 31). Do you agree or disagree with Suskind’s ideas about boys’ self-awareness? How does it apply to your life? How does it apply to most of the boys’ lives of which you are aware?
