Trauma in Film and Literature
The Birds and The Bees
In the same week that Oskar gave a presentation that involved him playing a recording of a person’s experience living through the Atomic Bomb, he was bullied a few days later for not knowing who Emma Watson is. From his extreme interest in learning to his lack of knowledge about popular culture, Oskar is labeled a weird kid. When asked a vulgar question by an older kid, he explains to the reader how he acquired his knowledge of sex, from the internet. His reasoning for consulting with the internet on what sex is, is because he has no one else to ask. He probably thinks that it would be too awkward or that he is too disconnected from his mother to ask her. The topic is something that he would never bring up with his grandmother and his father, who he would have probably consulted, is deceased. Due to Oskar feeling he is unable to consult anyone but the internet about this matter, he has the facts all confused.
