The Station Agent

Finbar McBride, in the station agent, has a difficult time socializing with people. This is because he only needed one person in his life that would not make fun of his height and see him for who he is as a person. The first time he spoke to Joe Oramas he thought Joe was going to make fun of his height and when Joe started talking to him he didn’t respond with much answer because he doesn’t know Joe that well. This is because he is not use to talking to others. Finbar got hit by a lady in a black car named Olivia Harris; she didn’t see him on the road. Olivia asked him, “Are you okay do you need a ride” all he said was, “No” and kept on going. This shows that even in pain he rather not ask for he because he is use to doing things on his own without being ask if he needs help or not. Finbar and Joe were suppose to go to the bar to hang out and have fun but Joe didn’t show up, the next day Joe went to see finbar. He got mad at Joe and asked Joe to leave, Joe said, “My dad had a problem and I had to take care of him” Finbar didn’t understand this because he thought he had a friend that will be there for him all the time. This shows that he doesn’t care about other people emotion and problems. This information shows that Finbar struggle to make new friends and hard time to communicate with others.
