- Adam got very sick of BG always lying about where he was going and how long that he was going to be gone. Adam decided that he needed to teach BG a lesson, but the first lesson still did not make a difference. Adam then blew up at BG and got into a fight with him, which turned out ugly for Adam.
Why do you think that Adam doesn't mention hsi parent's health issues until the last chapter?
-He either didnt feel like it was the right time, or had planned to write about it in his last chapter. I found it interesting that he did not ever mention it, because he seemed throughout the book to be close to his family. in thre early chapters, he even states that his parents were very worried about him, rather than he being worried about them.
Do you think that Adam wrote this book to prove a point?
-It would seem as if he is trying to pursuade his audience in the last chapter. It was filled with opinions on what needs to be done in this country. So, yes it did seem like he was trying to prove a point that the American Dream is still alive, but also that things need to be changed in this country economically speaking.
Why do you think that Adam left out a lot of interesting stories? For example when the guy outside of the shelter got stabbed.
-Adam even states that he could have written another hundred pages, but his moral was to tell us his story, not to entertain us with other side story's. His point was to inform us on the poverty in America and that the American dream is still alive yet today.
1)I think Adam probably overreacted to BG, when he should have just taken away the keys to the truck and had it over.
ReplyDelete2)I thought that it would have been interesting if he had mentioned his family more throughout the book. It seemed very last minute and like he was ending the book abruptly.
3)I thought the policy options he mentioned in the last chapter were very abrupt and problematic because he didn't mention anything throughout the rest of the book.
4)I feel that he left out stories specifically because it didn't have to deal with the American dream.
