If I were you I wouldn't post this on here there are connections academy teachers catching students for cheating...it's not hard to figure it out if you paid attention to the story. Algy and Jack turn to food when they are in times of trouble. Think about how people are now when something bad happens sometimes we use things to preoccupy ourselves and not deal with the problem just like Jack and Algy used food instead of dealing with their problems face on.
