Search for safety

 In my book Search for Safety by John Langan the external conflict of this story is when Larry's best friend robbed Graham's. During the book there is a man named Larry that married Bens mom. They get married 3 months after they've been together. Larry was a good man but after he lost his job he had went through depression and started to become an achoholic. Larry had gone through depression and became very violent. This was nothing like Larry. Larry had started at the end of the book get greedy for money,he had stolen money from Ben and had done something even worse. Larrys bestfriend was forced by him to rob a store that Ben works at named Graham's. Larrys bestfriend was such a good,loving and caring man that would never do that. Larrys friend had frighten the store owner Graham's so much that he had gotten a heart attack. I think personally that Larry shouldn't have forced his friend into doing this because it caused the man Graham's to have a heart attack and the store go bankrupt. I understand Larrys situation because he is broke but what I don't understand is why he doesn't try to apply for another job and earn it in a good way.

I think this is a contrast and contradiction because Larry was a good guy and never had done this before. He had a hard working job with good payed money and then did something so evil.
