The Dentist

The Dentist....what can I say about this story? Other than the fact that Curt Lemon is a peculiar character. I don’t understand why he enjoys pain so much. If he was afraid of the Dentist, then why would he go back to get a tooth pulled for no reason? Maybe, he wanted to do it, to cover up when he fainted. Maybe he did it, so no one would think, that he was a punk. I have no definite reason for his doing. I just would’ve tried to forget the situation, and move on. Being afraid of the dentist, is nothing compared to being in war. It was also kind of funny that he fainted. He’s supposed to be this guy that, “pulled off some dangerous stunts”  but he was afraid to get a check up. But, I can understand where he’s coming from. I’m not to fond of clowns. Especially the ones that resemble “It the Clown”. I would’ve cried, then passed out if I had to do anything with him! I guess this chapter showed more insight into, Curt Lemon as a person. Even though he was portrayed as this fearless soldier, he was still a human being, with fears. His fear just happened to be the Dentist.
