A Million Little Pieces~OR#8

For my first blog about this novel, I talked about the author's use of vulgar language and how it related to James Frey's drug-addicky mind. I predicted that towards the end of the novel that the language would get better due to Frey being drug-free.
Well, my prediction was half-right. My bet on explicits becoming less frequent was true, but my thoughts on why that would happen were false. In this last section of the novel, it is clear that Frey uses less of his atrocious language during times of frustration and rage. Frey expresses his feelings and thoughts by describing his pain(without all the extra explicits).
But when Frey is in an altercation with another individual, his "devilish side" comes out (which was not a part of my prediction). Frey uses his strong words to taunt and bully the person that is hurting him.
Frey says, "I said f*** you, you f****** A**hole. She's not a f****** lesson"(345). Frey says this as he is engaged in a heated argument with a staff member in rehab. Frey gets defensive and livid; which makes him go back to his old mechanisms of defense: tearing the other person down with threatening language. Frey's personality of rebellion by using swear words comes out when he is talking to this staff member. Frey wants to use the banned taboo words in an effort to outshine the power that the staff member has over Frey.
