You Can't Kill THe Rooster

I have to say that I was defenatily happy after I finished the essay "You Can't Kill the Rooster." After the "Twelve Moments In the Life of an Artist," I didn't want it to revert into just another mediocre book. This was my original expectation for the memoir. Not good but not bad. I'm happy to say I was wrong. What does everybody else think of the book now?

What is up with David's brother? I mean the guy seems to be a far cry from the rest of the family. Every other word he says is fuck. Although he is blunt like his father, their personalities are very different. It's not hard to see the difference between Daivd and him. One wanted a brand name vaccum cleaner as a ten year old and the other has no problem telling his parents "Mother Fucker, I ain't seen pussy in so long, I'd throw stones at it." Usually excesive swearing in a movie isn't paticularly funny. I mean it dosen't bother me, but having a character say fuck every other sentence can get a little annoying. But this is a lot of why this chapter is so damn funny. The guy's crazy. He's a wanna be raper, has a thick Southern accent, and says and does whater he wants to it seems. What does everyone else think of him?

Why do you think David's brother calls himself the Rooster. His respons in the book is defenatily funny but has nothing to do with the question of why he calls himself that. Why do you think he does call himself the rooster? Does it symbolize something or does he just like the way it sounds?
