Mitchel portrays self-image and social acceptance between the characters of Jason and Hugo by showing how hard Jason tries around him, as well as doing anything he can to seem cool to Hugo. Jason feels that he does not fit in as well as everyone else and at the same time it is very challenging for him to fit in with the popular people in his school because of his stammer. When Hugo gets in trouble or does something wrong Jason lets it go or he will side with Hugo to seem cool to him. Because of Jason's desperation to fit in with others it has affected his choices greatly and makes him seem less innocent then he already is, Jason tries to hard to fit in and idolizes Hugo because he is his coolest cousin to him.
