Cooper

First thing I Have to comment about is the title which I think is great.  The title is mentioned once in the entire essay.  The essay itself has nothing to do with cooking hamburgers  but the one mention of the tile shapes the whole story.  I liked how the plot was consistent throughout the entire essay.  Cooper focused on his quest to be socially acceptable in his school and how he tried to be something that he wasn't.  Cooper constantly fears that his secret will be discovered by his peers and feels that his secret could unravel any minute.  I found it interesting that when he looked back on his high school years his biggest regret was not telling Theresa that he was gay.  This would have altered his whole experience and could have possibly made him an outsider.
