The books show he reads and cares close to his Rights. It also shows that he is practical and active with his alarm clock. It can instead mean that he has to be Intelligent to protect himself from getting vanquish by the boss If he is late to which he needs to be protecting himself from horse manure.Also with the Californian civil code to be mauled suggests he attacked the book with anger which could show a bitter hatred the mood that people like him are treated Ilke outsiders causes him to lament his l angiotensin converting enzymeliness unconstipated in his home state.
