Frank Gallagher is someone who gets stereotypes very often. Frank did not graduate high school, lives on the south side of Chicago and drinks very often. All of these reasons make people think is a low life and they do not think he is very smart. But Frank is actually a very smart guy. He has a lot of street smarts and can think very quickly on his feet. Frank almost always gets his way or out of a sticky situation, so he does not fit the typical high-school drop out stereotype.
