Quote #10

It occurred to him that he couldn't remember the last time he felt happiness. It wasn't just being sent to Camp Green Lake that had made his life miserable. Before that he'd been unhappy at school, where he had no friends, and bullies like Derrick Dunne picked on him. No one liked him, and the truth was, he didn't especially like himself.

He liked himself now. (42.20-21)

Do you think Stanley likes himself now because he's finally taken some action and made some choices for himself? Or is it simply Zero's friendship that has made him feel this way? What do you think?
