Breaking Rank

Texts:
The Big Bazoohley- Peter Carey
Lord of the Flies- William Golding
Ender's Game- Orson Scott Card

Breaking Rank shows the fear our culture has for 'otherness.' The Clan does nothing illegal (for the most part) and yet the whole town is terrified of them because they do not fit into the mold.

What kind of statement is the Author making with having one of the more mature members of the Clan be named Baby? Does this name reflect Baby's treatment by other clan members, Lenny in particular?
