The book is named The Car by Gary Paulsen. I’m going to talk about three thing one is what I talked about last time and the second is what’s going on right now and the last is what has changed since last time.

Travis Ruhland’s book, Caring for Kait, ties into the discussion of adult development and aging that we have been having in this course well. Though this book’s focus, Kaitlyn, did not get the chance to live life into old age, there are still relevant themes that can be found in the narration of her battle with cancer. I will examine themes related to aging that I found in her husband’s narration of her battle with cancer: memory changes, feelings of control and lack thereof, and spirituality.

But Cashmere does not know what he is referring to, so the three men begin arguing about the gun to find out they have a strange gun, in their possession and they have no idea where it came from or what it could have been used for. Not focusing because they were arguing over how to get rid of the gun some cops spotted them because Cashmere car looks very similar to Broadway 's car that had been seen at murder earlier that day. The cops pulled them over. One of cops was a female officer; she orders them out of the car at gunpoint, which they submit to, but in instant Cashmere 's pitbull runs toward the officer who kills him in self-defense.

Unbeknownst to Connie, though, she allows the encounter to continue. Allowing herself to look out, she notes “the left fender had been smashed and around it was written, on the gleaming gold background: DONE BY CRAZY WOMAN DRIVER” (981) and “MAN THE FLYING SAUCERS. It was an expression kids had used the year before, but didn’t use this year. She looked at it for a while as if the words meant something to her that she did not know yet” (983). In paying substantial attention to detail and Connie’s point of view, Oates reveals that Connie is becoming aware of the malicious nature of Arnold and that he is masking himself in order to deceive her. Apprehension signifies her awareness, Arnold realizes this and pesters her, “Don’tcha wanta see what’s on the car? Don’tcha wanta go for a ride?” (981). The deliberate dialogue gives the reader a foreboding sense of brooding; Connie and the reader feel as though he is “sniffing as if she were a treat he was going to gobble up” (982). Oates again uses dialogue as foreshadowing when Arnold says: “I promise it won’t last long and you’ll like me that way you get to like people you’re close to… It’s all over for you here…” (987). It is at this point that Arnold’s character fully exposes himself

Vietnam veteran Travis Bicklea finds that his life has been turned upside down after returning America from the battle-field. He suffers from the insomnia and sense of isolation, which leads him to take a job as taxi-driver at night; many of his customers represent the people from the lowest class of society: prostitutes, adulterous husbands and wenchers. Since Travis has promised the cab company that he will drive anywhere, at anytime, his likelihood of seeing the best of human nature is fairly slim. So, he tries to create an extra-occupational life for himself. He befriends Betsy, a beautiful girl working at a Senator's campaign office. Unluckily, with on possession of the slightest amount of social skills, Travis takes her

Establishing the difference between the story and the plot allows one to determine the effect each element has on the understanding and interpretation of the piece. It also provides a way of tracking the continuation of events and the relationship between seemingly isolated moments in time. Film Art clearly defines both story and plot but acknowledges that there is a significant overlap between the two functions and allows a flow within the film. The plot is the presentation of the events, in chronological order and includes the events that are seen, inferred and assumed by the viewer as opposed to the story. The story refers to the way in which the plot is presented, the ‘personality’ imposed

I could feel the cold brisk air brushing up against my skin as I ventured through the darkness in this vacant parking lot on a dreary Sunday night in November. I could see a car in the distance and began to approach it. The car appeared to be an old rusted out vehicle with extremely tinted windows that were dark like death. As I looked inside the vehicle I noticed that the car was as clean as a crystal. Not a speck of dust could be found on the interior and the floor mats were completely spotless. It was as if the vehicle had never been driven before. I then put my hand on the door and proceeded to step inside of the vehicle. As I did so I felt a sensation through my whole body that made me tingle. It was an unwelcoming sensation as if I was entering a whole new world. As I sat down there's was a smell, a sheer clean smell similar to that of a fresh load of laundry. Goosebumps came about all over my body as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I put my hands on the steering wheel and my mind took me into another dimension. Taking a glance in the rearview mirror I could see a mysterious person approaching the vehicle. As I examined the person I came to the conclusion that this must be the owner of the vehicle. I noticed they were dressed in all black and carrying what seemed to be a grocery bag of some sort. In panic, I got out of the car and looked at what appeared to be a male figure. The man was very masculine and tall. His mere presence was enough to strike fear into
