I think it the same boy, having killed his mother and father, threw himself on the mercy of the court because he was an orphan! But after all an autobiography is a popular form of fiction in which the writer is always the hero! Interesting word.

Skitsophrenic: /-skit-suh-fren-ik-/ Every time Julian watches the movie Star Wars, especially the jedi fight scenes, he becomes a total skitsophrenic — he thinks he’s Luke Skywalker, and he jumps up and starts fighting off illusionary enemies with his imaginary lightsaber.
