The Intercontinental Rejection of Society through the 19th and 20th Century and the Widespread Search for Freedom. By Jake Davidson Jake wanted someplace where he could feel secure, where no one would judge him for his sexual-impudence. Quite the controversial condition, Jake wanted to be away from the people he didn’t trust so he could be himself, and hopefully outrun the pains of this condition, so he decided to follow two of his loves, travel and Brett.

Brett was incapable of loving Jake any longer because of his sexual status, not just superficially, Brett had reasons, and she said that she had needs that which Jake couldn’t fulfill.
