    The Science of Boy Biology. We often like to categorize people into groups, old and young, smart and dumb, boy and girl, etc. The topic that I’ll be analyzing in this essay is what really makes a boy, a boy? I’m sure you’ve heard someone say “He’s a boy alright.” or something along those lines before. But how do we really decide someone is a boy? Is it his gender he's born with as a kid, maybe what the person themself decides they are, maybe it's their masculinity? This is no real universal check

    Rick Moody's Boys

    The title of the story “Boys”, by Rick Moody, is quite misleading. Although this is a story about boys, one often denotes that term to necessarily be referring to maleness. This story though, is lacking quite a bit of maleness and masculinity. As we see these two “boys” grow up in life, they lack the ability to grow into proper men, but rather stay as boys, at best. The boys are unable to become men, due to the women in their life limiting them to a feminine nature, and only when everyone in their
