Good is Dead.

While continuing The Cheese Monkeys, a Professor Winter yells at a student for turning in good work. Winter's reasoning is that "good is dead." While this may seem to make absolutely no sense, think about what would be more interesting: a perfect painting of a forest that looks incredibly lifelike or an abstract painting of the same landscape. Personally, I would definitely rather look at the abstract painting. Although it may not be as "good" as the other, it demands more creativity and imagination from the artist and would challenge my thinking on the scene. 

The narrator's friendship with Himillsy was also challenged in these pages. He wants more of a relationship with Himillsy, though she is dating a bland architecture student. Her boyfriend is the type of person she hates, but in the glimpse of the relationship you see, they seem to challenge each other and balance out. The narrator, nicknamed Happy by Winter, does not understand Himillsy's relationship and is frustrated when he sees her with her boyfriend. Himillsy also steals Happy's idea for a graphic design project after she tells Happy it is a stupid idea, though he doesn't stay mad for long. In one case when Happy was defending Himsy's (his nickname for her) art, Winter says "Nice try Hap, she's got you on a tight leash, doesn't she?" I'm really interested to see how their relationship will develop.
