Freestyle Blog

The past couple of weeks my reading has been filled with school reading from this class, history and geology. Earlier this week though I was able to go to Powells and get some books that I could read when I wasn't reading school books. Recently, I have been reading the book Rescue by Anita Shreve. I haven't gotten very far in the book yet but its seems to be interesting.
In the second chapter of the book right after they rescue the boy Webster is talking to Burrows about how he needs to go back. "I tossed the keys that were on her belt onto the grass. Find them on your own time. There was a rabbits foot. Burrows laughed. Lucky Girl." This quote is important to the rest of the story because this is the beginning of the relationship between The women and Webster. I also think it is interesting because the women who's keys he threw had been severely drunk and had wrapped her car around a tree but yet she had a rabbits foot and she somehow lived. I just find it ironic that she happened to have a rabbits foot in an accident that should have killed her.

  1. I had a rabbits foot as a child. Now, I think a rabbits foot is creepy! I haven't had much time to read for fun lately. I miss it when I'm busy.
