Discuss the gang's motivations, taking into account the age and beauty of the house, blackie's reasons for not going home after losing his position of leadership, the seriousness with which the boys work at their task, and their loss of concern over their leadership, the burning of the pound notes, and their consideration for old misery, and the lorry driver's reaction. what characteristics do the gang's two named exploits- pinching free rides and destroying the house-have in common?

They knew it was only for the rich so by doing this it made them on equal grounds with one another.

Explanation:

The text titled 'The Destructors' penned by Graham Greene presents both the acts either of 'pinching free rides' or 'destroying the house' primarily to depict the lost character of youth. Their activities display no 'purpose' or 'identity' and their life has rather turned into a 'parking lot.' The pinching of rides to go nowhere and T's wish to destroy the house of Mr. Thomas mirrors their asinine destruction without any divine meaning. Greene displays the grief or sadness confronted by these youths as they lack a purpose, real meaning, values, or morality in the life. They are empty and void from inside. These characteristics show that they both were similar.
