Two Quotations:
1.I took my time walking down the trail, trying with each step to leave the world behind (p.37).
2.The hardest thing usually to leave behind, as was the case now, can loosely be called the conscience (p.37).
My Reflection:
After the writer took Paul home from the police station, they did not talk about what happened in that night Paul had a fight with a guy. Once they had a chance to talk, there were third person around them and also Paul was away from all the people. He basically went fly fishing upstream, instead of joining other people. Therefore, the writer was thinking about how to break the silence between Paul and him and tried to figure it out how to help him. This reminds me that sometimes I try to talk about something important to my friends after there is a misunderstanding going on between us. It is usually difficult to have a start/opening. Or I should call it ice-breaker. Somehow I just do not know how to approach them and start a conversation, especially after we have an argument. I guess sometimes a sense of humor is very helpful in this case. Sometimes I think it is easier to talk to a stranger than a best friend.
Questions:
1.Page 32, “There was something deep in Neal that compelled him to lie to experts, even though they knew best that he was lying.” What do you think of the something? Alcohol? Arrogance? Stupidity?
2.Do you have an experience that you do not know how to start a conversation with your best friend/sisters/brothers? What was that about? If you made the start, how did you do?
