Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on how Wall in his novel This Is The Country explores the issues of the twenty-first century and indicates the significance of certain spheres of daily life. Wall, writing in the first person, tries to conjure up how the society forms a person and how every event in ones life leaves something behind. In his descriptions, Wall uses everyday language to depict the events realistically and does not leave any details out. The protagonist experiences the real life, the life that many people consider unreal or too cruel. However, Wall tries to bring the unimaginable, brutal life to the people who have never seen or experienced it. The protagonist tries to be one of the people he indirectly mocks just because he, in fact, envies them. He envies the perfect lives of some people he never had the chance to live out just because of the circumstances he had no influence on. Through him, Wall criticizes the contemporary society and, in a way, protests against certain parts of it. The settled patterns of lives that many lead are not necessarily good, and the protagonist reflects Walls desire to change them.
