it's kind of a funny story response two

As Craig lives out his week in the hospital he meets many new people.  He feels accepted in a group of grown men who have mental disorders.  I guess Craig feels more normal among this group of society's misfits than his "friends." Still, Craig feels the need to hide his situation from people at school except for Nia.  I think Craig is as embarrassed of his new friends as he is of himself because he fits in with this weird group of people.  I think Craig is also afraid to admit to himself that has problems and his is slapstick,maybe not as sick as Bob or Humble, but still sick.  He is also afraid because he'worried about growing up and being crazy.

Craig's roommate, Muqtada also has an influence on Craig.  Muqtada never leaves the room and doesn't speak to anyone.  In a way Craig sees a part of him in Muqtada. Muqtada is also afraid.  Muqtada hides notnot only hides from people but he also attempts to hide from life.  Staying in the hospital and being surrounded with all of these adults who aren't really adults scares Craig because he feels one day that can be him.

In the crazy mix of people in the , Craig meets Noelle.  She's also a but crazy.  Craig has an obvious crush on Noelle but he hesitates to act on it because he also has feelings for Nia. Noelle is different from : is because she is much mire self aware and kind of insecure.  Noelle also treats Craig different from how Nia treats Craig.  She doesn't act vulnerable like : is dies.  She is very guarded.
