        <description><![CDATA[They were making crank phone calls and called Mr. Pignati. They said they were collecting money for a charity. They go to Mr. Pignati's house to collect the money. This is the start of how they get to know him. Eventually they become close friends, sort of, but really it is Mr. Pignati that is willing to become like a father figure for the two. Their parents are unavailable and so they don't really have any guidance in their lives. They really...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[John's habit of writing on desks shows his impulsive and rebellious nature.
John is good-looking and intelligent, but he is bored with school and hates it with a passion.  In addition, he has a tumultuous home life, and is always at odds with his father.  When John was a freshman, he acted out by inventing various pranks for the amusement of himself and others.  He set off homemade explosives in the boys' bathroom, and organized stunts to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dennis Kobin is a friend of John and Lorraine.  He is usually paired with Norton Kelly, and the two are described as "demented", and are always causing trouble.  Of the pair, Dennis is the follower, and is nowhere near as malicious and conniving as the more assertive Norton.  John says that Dennis is "not very bright", and notes that "he talks so slowly some people think he has brain damage".  Dennis does hold the record for the being able...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dennis holds the record for the longest conversation in the phone marathon game.  He had once picked out a woman "who lived alone and was desperate to talk to anyone".  Dennis told the lady that he was calling because he had heard that she gave good advice, and he had a problem concerning a "hideous skin disease" which was certain to lead to his death if he did not find a cure.  According to Dennis, a rat had bitten off his nose when he was...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[John is talking about their group's habit of hanging out at the cemetery to drink.  He is saying that Masterson's Tomb, the specific place where they like to meet, is a great place to be in the summer, when it is warm.  The cemetery offers him and his friends a place to gather where adults will not bother them, providing a sort of escape from authoritarian hassles in their lives.  In the winter, however, it is not at all pleasant to hang...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When John and Lorraine first visited the Pigman's house, John was blown away by how happy the old man seemed to be to see them, even though it was the first time they had met.  He says,

"...the part that slaughtered me was this great big smile on his face.  He looked so glad to see us I thought his eyes were going to twinkle out of his head.  He wouldn've made one @#$% of a Santa Claus if you had put a white beard on him and stuck him on a...]]></description>
