- 'Genius' used to describe himself - People who are highly intelligent => showing that he regards himself smarter than others.

- Exclamatory sentence suggest freedom in which he feels free in his work and the duty of a carer being lifted off his shoulder.
- Personal pronoun 'We' suggests belonging in the situation possibly meaning this is what he truly wants - rather than a carer for a child => Links to freedom
Page 177 - "We are obsessed with seeming diverse"
- Fascination of standing out from the crowd, maybe wants to create a good image of accepting anyone of all ethnic backgrounds so they promote racial diversity. Shows intelligence in opening an wider audience, but shows he is an unreliable narrator as we know their team isn't racially diverse.
Page 180 - "We don't think guns should be sold at counters"
-He portrays himself as an individual thinker mostly having contrasting opinions about the American lifestyle of the availability of guns in USA. His ideas show someone with an ambition to change the country for the greater good or create controversy in order to springboard his company into fame and success but the answer is unclear whether he is doing one or the other.
