In the Chocolate war, The Goober was assigned by the Vigils to unscrew all of the things in Brother Eugene's room (Room Nineteen). Throughout the process he had begun to give up hope and awful thoughts started to flood his mind. He was extremely relieved when a group of students (who wore masks to cover their identities) came to help him unscrew everything in the room. In the end it took 3 hours. When I read this, I could relate to Goober's nerves and the feeling that he experienced, because I often have this when I am sent to go talk to strangers or ask them something by other people. I feel like I am doing something bad and when someone else comes to help me I feel extremely relieved.
Most people get a sense of pride and relaxation when they come up with a great idea. This is much like the character Archie when he comes up with an ingenious assignment or a way to get out of doing actual work
