Truly tragic....I enjoyed this story about Clyde. His intensions to do good by himself, to become somebody, to be important. Him deciding to work and earn a position for himself trough hard work, because others did just that and succeeded. And then actually viewing how upon contact with life and all of it's intricacies his plans fell apart, how he set new goals and have they failed. How wanting something better drove Clyde...well basically to madness.
