Numero Cinco!!!

5. Paint a picture of Josh's character. Why is it that he has only one friend? Discuss his relationship with Beth. Do you think he would have created the Larry Web site if he had told Beth how he felt about her?

I think that maybe the self confidence is no good. A lack of self confidence could have also led to using the anonymous internet account as a platform instead of a more personal platform. As far as the relationship with Beth goes, I think things could have gone one of two ways if Josh told her how he feels about her.

Possibility 1: she is receptive to the idea of Josh liking her. If this happens I think that Josh either does not create "Larry" or at least delays the creation of "Larry" because of the boost in self confidence.

Possibility 2: Beth is not receptive towards Josh's feelings / blows off Josh. This accelerates the creation and development of "Larry". "Larry" posts more negatively upon certain issues in his life and may or may not gain the foll0wing he has now.
