For my summer reading I read Caring is Creepy by David
Zimmerman. The main theme in Caring is Creepy is manipulation. One of
the main examples of manipulation is when Lynn lies to Logan to keep him in the
house because she likes having a friend around. Another example of manipulation
was when Hayes got Lynn’s mom to help him with his drug business causing a lot of
problems, like murder. This is shown in this quote…“Logan,
honey, if you’ve got to go to the bathroom, you should really wait until I am
here…What if my moms boyfriend came in? Then you and me would be in a world of
shit. Let me tell you”(Zimmerman 200-201)…Over
the course of the story manipulation emerges from Lynn starting as keeping Logan
in her closet for safety, to her keeping him there because she likes the
company. Multiple times in the story Lynn tells lies to keep Logan in the
house, because if she had told the truth he would have left the closet. Lynn
had to make him scared to leave so she told him things like his mom wasn’t going
to work, so he wouldn’t leave the closet while she was at school. This shows manipulation
because she could have told the truth but she manipulated Logan to keep him in
the closet.
