Letter From Kentucky Part 14
In section 14 the character is giving exact directions as he is traveling. He gives all of the businesses names and speaks of what he remembers when he used to live in Kentucky. As he is telling the names of the places he's passing he is also telling short details of memories he had at those places. Section 14 speaks of old places he remembers as a kid as he is visiting Kentucky and as he's passing these places he brings up he old memories he remembers he then mentions he wanted it to mean to him what it meant to his father. It gets personal and he speaks of what he liked to do and other than the things he liked to do there he was bored. at the end of the section he seems upset because he mentions he would eat a photocopier in exchange for corn bread one for him and one for his father and it would make the world made young again. I wonder what he meant by "There is no death, there is no hell". What is it in reference to?
