While I was reading Prime Directive, the first thing I concluded from this story is that the main characters are obviously immature. I can truly see a lack of adulthood in their lives. Why do I say this? Well I will give you three reasons as to why I do believe this. Excessive drinking, demeanors, and racism.
The drinking at the costume party was beyond the point of “out of control”. People were beginning to hear voices have exotic thoughts and even see thing that were not apparent. At the end of the night a few friends plot a very childish idea of somebody playing dead on a front porch in order to scare children. However I happen to find it funny in a different perspective. Now lets just say that for instance someone happen to be sober and it was a prank, yes actually I could see the humor in that, but if your just…..how shall I say this “shit-faced” then no that is not funny, because intoxicated morons should not be placed around children it just makes it uncomfortable for everybody.
Demeanors. The demeanor that was given off by “Captain Kirk” was a very egotistical, immature one at that. He just seamed as if he really did not care about anybody but himself. I mean really why a married man would be lying on the front porch of a stranger’s house playing dead to scare children and it clearly states on page 126. “I always drink a few beers to help me sleep obviously he must have a drinking problem if he has to drink a few beers to help him fall asleep. The reasons why I bring up these two factors are because he obviously has problems of the mind and he has not taken any precautions to help his condition. I sure hope that his wife believes in marriage counseling.
The costumes and the party were???? How shall I say quite childish for a middle aged married man but for a 12-18 year old it’s great fun. However I mean really come on lets leave immateriality in the past were adults now. Not to say that middle-aged people can not have fun and participate in various actives, but when those activate could possibly get you in trouble with the law!? Really…let’s use our brains kids!!!
In conclusion I just think that people all around no matter if your 8 or 48 you still need to know what is right from wrong. Being racist, alcoholic, or anything that you know is not right just don’t do it, because there are consequences for the actions that you do, and sometimes it’s not always as simple as saying I’m sorry…sometimes it can result in severe punishment, such as prison time or even death.
