Question

I cannot make myself understood. “I am not just a jock,” I say slowly. Distinctly. “My transcript for the last year might have been dickied a bit, maybe, but that was to get me over a rough spot. The grades prior to that are de moi.” My eyes are closed; the room is silent. “I cannot make myself understood, now.” I am speaking slowly and distinctly. “Call it something I ate.” Which statement best says how Wallace explores the conflict between personal and societal realities?
