The Destructors

The story occurs in England after the Second World War. It's about a gang who plans and destroys Mr. Thomas' (Old Misery) house, because they do not trust in his kind acts. For ex: when he gives them sweets.

The main characters are:

T.: He's chosen to plan the attack to Old Misery house. He's quite disturbed because he does not have a good relationship with his dad.

Blackie: He's the leader of the gang. He rules with democracy, something strange because in gangs there is no such thing.

Old Misery: He's old and kind. He offers some sweets to T. He's the owner of the house that is being destroyed.

I didn't like the meaning of the story, so I also didn't like the story. The end was not what I expected, it was rude to laugh at Old Misery. Also I didn't like the way that the gang members behave, it was totally strange.

Funny Quote

"Joey: But I-I-I can't stay too long, I gotta get up early for a commercial audition tomorrow and I gotta look good. I'm supposed to be playing a 19-year-old.
[Everyone stops in their tracks upon hearing this]
Chandler: So when you said, "Get up early, " did you mean 1986?"

The quote is funny because Chandler is making fun of what Joey has to do to look of 19 years old.
