pg. 171 - 199
1) “For me it was just red wine in my mouth and a pile of firewood. (186)”
Ray feels alone and he wants a woman to be with just like everyone else in the room but, he just lays in his sleeping bag alone while the others are having a good time. Everything to him is just blah and not exciting compared to if he had someone to share the moments with. At one point he tried blocking the couples out but Sean and Joe came in and disturbed him of his meditation, which did not make his situation and better.
2) “There is wisdom in the wine, goddamn it! (190)”
Ray was told that he drinks wine too much but he tries to make it as if it was a good thing, but his friends think that he is becoming worst and they realize that it he really needs to stop. Ray thinks that all the drinking is making him better but its actually making him worst because Japhy points out that how could Ray become a good bhikku if he is drunk, but Ray just totally blow that off.
