Choice of Discription

Again don't read this post if you have not finished your pages

As we all know the author of 'misfits' (James Howe) has a great style of writing, but it is his choice of discription that made me think.I think that the author chose to make joe stariotypicly gay not what every individual gay person, they are all different. That made us as readers think that everybody that was gay in this book was going to be a stariotype ( which is not necessarily good ). THEN he surprised me by telling us  Colin was gay. My proof is, ( I don't have any proof this was just a thought ). That surprised us because Colin was (stariotypicly speaking) not gay because Addie thought that he wasn't. We never thought that she was wrong because she is always right. I also think that he had to make joe a stariotype because it made the story a little more interesting because there was no other stariotype gay person. But I thought it was nice that Colin said if he were like joe he would say how he felt I also think joe is a very sweet caracter. Thoughts?
