Long Answer

1. Humor plays a significant role in The Fourth Stall as the students engage in innocent mob-like behavior. For example, Mac runs his serious business out of the fourth bathroom stall, and students who owe Staples money may have their iPods or bikes taken by his Collector. (Various chapters)

2. Mac and Vince’s business disrupts the usual hierarchy of the school because the business, rather than the teachers, address concerns and dole out consequences within the school. The services are helpful in some ways because students may feel more comfortable approaching peers with issues that pertain to school. Still, the business creates conflict for the community because authority figures are unaware of the dangers students might encounter because of the organization’s secrecy. (Various chapters)
