Hey guys, Let's get this discussion started! In our reading, there were many things that jumped out to me, but I wanted to touch on a couple of them. Firstly, I wanted to discuss the whole idea of “the bridge” in the story. On page 11, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, Carnehan talks about how he came to the first village.

The idea of bridges shows up again on page 14, as Carnehan makes the natives builds bridges that “cut up the country horrid”, and finally at the bottom of page 18, as Dravot falls to his death. I feel that the “bridges” are a representation of the connections between the foreigners (Dravot
