Hello fellow Scholars (and Stewsessors),
So... Chapter Two. Are you still with us? Good! Want to come along for the ride? Excellent! Hop in the car and read with us here.
Chapter summary:
Our narrator is invited on an adventure of a lifetime by a college friend. He is excited and has dreams of the greatest grandeur. Ill prepared (in every way) and hopeful, he sets out on, what he thinks, is the perfect route.
Through inclement weather and the advice of strangers with whom he hitches a ride, he realizes that he may need to change his plans. A bit. Still hopeful that if he reaches Chicago everything will be ok, he curses his own stupidity and hops on a bus bound for the Windy City.
Breaking it down - an excerpt:
Lorabell: agreed, he has such "stars" in his eyes almost
grass is greener, etc
LettieLou: I love how he takes his tone from so hopeful with this grand plan and his piddly $50... to "just get me to Chicago. I don't care"
Lorabell: but that just demonstrates his continued lack of reality
just blow off most of his only savings after one day of set-backs because you were unprepared?
dude, it's a wonder you survive at that rate
LettieLou: Seriously... just you wait...
Lorabell: no spoilers!
LettieLou: I get frustrated with him... (NONE I SWEAR!)
Lorabell: frustrated?
LettieLou: Yes, like... "Don't blow your money now!"
Lorabell: oh totally
LettieLou: "What are you thinking with those shoes?"
I'm too practical
Lorabell: hahaha
but if you're setting off into the great unknown you need to be fucking practical
just because Dean and Carlo are apparently having a great time
*cough*bullshit*cough*
