Samantha & Jonathans response to Mansfield

We all members of are family who are considered the black sheep, similar to the off beat characters in Stranger than Fiction. They don't have a certain connection with any members of the family but are accepted by them anyway. Such as the wrestlers in chapter two who's certain family members didn't approve of what they were doing but stayed supportive. Author Chuck Palahniuk seems to be the back sheep himself, he does seem to have any strong connections with anyone besides his writing. His friends are simply there for an influential purpose for his stories.

All of our friends are considered family, some of them are closer to us than our actual family members. They are all going through the same experiences as our selves, some experiences that our families could not relate to. Just like the characters in the book took comfort in the people that were involved in the same interests or have the same problems as themselves. We all come from different family upbringings but we come together and share a bond because of a common ground.
