Bender takes Outsiders to a new level. She makes people believe that outcasts have a different setting within their situations, yet at the same time, its not like she is always placing the outsiders in situations where they are the helpless ones. It is more like the fact that she makes them into these characters that have a problem or addiction of goal that they need to fix or reach and shows their struggles. This week a prime example of that is "Motherfucker". He wasn't a character that she was concerned about when writing like he is seldom called out for. Instead he was someone that well, did mothers and in the process gave them a rocking show. He as good at what he did, and he played the emotions of these single mothers to give them a good time. When he met the starlit she was someone that he had never experienced, he wooed her without trying to hard, and then showed her his secret on how he does the things that he does. With this it was like he was sharing some of him to help her become a better actress but he was also letting himself get attached. That's where I believe she showed his outcast side. The fact he was a known (excuse my lingo) mother fucker, wasn't it. It was he fact that he parted from her after showing his ways, ignoring the calls of other single mothers, and finding his center in his small, mundane home. It showed so much. The last couple pages was the story, the first couple was setting it all up for us.
With "Ironhead" that was the one story she did make as a outcast because it was so obvious that she was making an outcast. And the thing that hit me the most, was the sadness I felt when I read that. People being excluded because of their looks, it add's more pressure on them even if they don't let it get to them. Ironhead who died from his head being to heavy, had more than solid lead (?) for a head, it was the outside emotional reassures of people being people, and not thinking before a judgement is made. Also with this story her lesson of don't judge a book by its cover, or there's more than just the first impression was something that shone through when reading. Out of the lessons she hides within her words, Bender made this lesson loud and clear.
