Long Answer

1. Wallace is good at collecting new people to help in the play. He has unique ideas about how the play should be executed and knows how to appeal to the audience. For example, Wallace collects a rock band to play the soundtrack, asks a 16-year-old to drive the moped on stage, and updates the language of the play. (Various Chapters)

2. The catalysts for misinformation in the novel include biased opinions both in favor of and against Wallace, including the school newspaper that often prints and circulates incorrect information, gossip that is spread between characters, planted evidence, and assumptions made by the characters. The sway of public opinion often thwarts Wallace’s friendships and involvement in activities. For example, when Dylan leaves Wallace’s jersey next to the shredded scripts, Wallace is kicked out of the drama group. (Various Chapters)
