Chapter XVII Pgs: 192-208 Pt. 1

In this chapter something that has been brewing throughout the entire trip finally comes to be, Cohn gets into a fight with some of his “friends.” This event has really been [FORESHADOWED] for a long time whenever Cohn says something that makes the others mad they often talked about their dislike for him behind his back. “'That Cohn gets to me,' Bill said. “He's got this Jewish superiority so strong that he thinks the only emotion he'll get out of the fight will be being bored.'” (166) Another time Mike is drunk and a bit more honest about his feelings towards Cohn. “Do you think you amount to something, Cohn? Do you think you belong here among us? People who are out to have a good time? For God's sake don't be so noisy, Cohn!” And then the fight that seemed imminent from the beginning of the trip finally happened.
