At first Paul Bowled describes the place that he was in , which was the cemetery. I got the sense that he was his was high throughout the story maybe because he was morning someone. I thought it was weird when he took the lady and told her he was going to kill her friend was his purpose was just so he didn't feel lonely since we was just staring at the sky and watching the vultures at first I didn't really understand that there was dead people around him, I thought that their was literally dead people until I understood that he was at a commentary and that he was laying in the ground. but I don't get the ending when the old lady from the town came up to him and said " he has lost his mother:" Since earlier in the story he had mention that a lot of crazy people get out of the train , was she one of them? and was he trying to fit in the town when he said that he was going to kill the lady's friend?
Was the whole purpose of this short story , was to say he was morning and all he wanted was to fit in and what clamed him down was the sky ?
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.
I have the same questions. I found it odd he told the lady he was going to kill her friend. I think it was because He did want to try to fit in. I still wonder why he wanted the lady's friend. I think because he was mourning possibly to his feelings got in the way and he didn't know how to react. So instead he reacted in a very violent way which wasn't the way to go.
ReplyDeleteYou guys, read the bottom of p. 87. It seems as if Jacinto rapes the woman, doesn't he?
