Frank Goes to War and the Ants Go Too!

Résumé du livre

Loneliness is one of the sicknesses in our society today. Frank Smith not really realizing his own loneliness showed us through his deep conviction that he was connected with ants. Once this fixation was in place within his mind nothing could penetrate it. Without an effort on his part he was able to pull within the walls of his conviction, Luke, whose battle with Frank's mind only pulled him closer to his friendship and love.

Luke believing that Frank was weak was soon to discover that Frank was not only strong but also very brave. His discovery bonded their friendship even closer. Luke also thought that his friend, Frank, was becoming totally insane so he begun to show his compassion (for Frank) not realizing that as time went on it was Frank's compassion for him that saved his life many times over.

Luke's frustrations became more apparent when he tried desperately to show Frank how wrong he was. Even pulling his dead mother into the picture did not work. Realizing that no matter what he said or did, Frank's convictions were deeper and more profound than anything or anyone he had ever encountered in his whole lifetime.

Frank's steadfast in his belief was gaining ground with Luke. Each piece of evidence was slowly piling up before his eyes. Until he had to submit to some of the reality that Frank loved him and no matter what he said or did,it was not going to change Frank's belief - that the ants were indeed Frank's friends.

It was only near the end that Luke was able to put pieces of the puzzle together, which brought him to a humble end and a new beginning.
