The Cheese Monkeys

From my understanding "The Cheese Monkeys" is about a boy who goes off to college and finds himself in college. FRom The book it selfs seems like a puzzle that is made to make the reader think and remind us of what we do see in Chipp Kidds eyes. From the first pages of the book i enjoy how he describes waiting in line for hours and then the course selector chippy asks him what classes he is taking. He talks Biblically torturing the man, which I found hilarous because I have felt like that after standing in line forever. But what I noticed through my critical lense was the references to south american revolution. I think he refers to south America frequently because I believe that he himself is rebelling by going outside his normalcy
