Blog Entry Number 2 - Text to Self Connection:
The book that I am currently reading "The
Truth About Forever" by Sarah Dessen is very different from my life. There
aren't that many things that I can personally connect to. Macy’s life is very
different from mine. There is one scene though in the book that I can connect
to really well. It was the part in the book where Macy, the main character, and
Wes, one of her friends that she works with, were driving to a party in the
middle of nowhere. As they were driving to the party and they were about half
way there, so near absolutely nothing, their car ran out of gas. Macy and Wes
had to get out of the car and walk a very long way to try to find a gas station,
a person, or anything. They walked for a very long time before they could find
anything, they played many different games to pass the time while they were
walking. This very thing happened to me and my family about two summers ago. We
were on a road trip driving through the states and we were in the middle of
nowhere, there was nothing around us, not a person in sight. All of a sudden our
car broke down and we were out of gas. We had to walk for what seemed like hours
until we finally found someone. To pass the time my sister Dana and I played
lots of word games, just like Macy and Wes did in my book “The Truth About Forever”
when their car ran out of gas too. My family eventually did find someone who
could help us and we did finally get gas and could continue on our road trip,
just like Macy and Wes found someone who helped them.
that happened to my brother and I when our car broke down on the way to Saskatchewan. we had to pull into a random persons house and we had to spend the night there. lets just say charades was played that day
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever been in car that ran out of gas, but recently I was in one that broke down. My mom and I were driving back to school in the evening, so I could scorekeep a basketball game. When we left the house, we noticed that the car was making weird noises and the ride was very bumpy, but we blamed it on the ice on the tires. By the time we got to the perimeter, it had gotten so bad that we had to stop to see what was wrong. By that time, we realized that the wheel of our car had almost completely fallen off. Thankfully, my dad was able to come pick us up, so we didn't have to wait for more than about half an hour.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of my brothers old car it would constantly run out of gas in random places and he would always have to walk somewhere to get his gas or he would call my parents to pick him up!
