Dry by Augusten Borroughs Pg 121-243
So far, not much has changed for the main character. He is still sober, working on his job, and so on. One of the minor characters, Greer, actually plays a bigger part than i thought in the book. Greer was the person who eventually made Augusten go to rehab in the first place. She is his partner in the advertising business. Greer, although she has a very cold personality, must actually care about Augusten. Although she made him go to rehab to save her own and his job, when he comes back, she is always checking on him and making sure he is okay. Greer keeps Augusten in check. These two characters are foil characters. Greer is hardworking, strict, and put-together, while Augusten is a slacker, and really has messed up his life. By putting these two characters together, Greer's sharpness is emphasized, and Augusten's sloppiness is also emphasized. This minor character adds a lot to the book.
