When I read the lines, "For me, school has been a Darwinian exercise." This opens me up to a major theme in the book, Darwinism, other known as "survival of the fittest." I firmly believe that the main character is trying to say that the smart will stay ahead and the dumb will fall back. The main character lacks self-esteem and is lackadaisical. So the book is trying to prove that once your low, it's hard to revive.
