On the other side of the railroad tracks a train crash can be seen. The two trains crashing into each other are titled “Van” and “Clay” describing two candidates running for presidency in the 1844 election. Also seen are people running away from this crash. These candidates are Martin Van Buren and Henry Clay who were both in the presidential election of 1844, Buran was democratic and Clay was a Whig however both “supported” (used loosely) the anti-slavery side, the election put them up against each other amongst other candidates, however either one was cheated of the presidential position when a “dark horse” was nominated into office. This gives them the perception of crashing and burning as shown by the train crash. This train crash alluding to the candidates relates to the sectional crisis because with both of these candidates losing Polk wins the election and adds Texas to the union which is a slave state, angering the anti-slavery people. Passengers are running from the scene of the crash because supporters of these candidates did not make it into office and Polk who was nominated never took a definitive stance on

Physical journeys can impact upon the traveler in many ways. They can be faced with obstacles which can impact on the traveler and will need to overcome. Physical journeys can impact upon the traveler in various ways. This is shown in Dawes poem “last seen at 12.10am” where a mother is on a journey to find her missing daughter.

Tom’s parents always flaunted their wealth; as did Tom’s grandparents. Their family was old money at its finest. It was the summer of 1903 in Chicago, a blinding day, the sun was beating down on the faces of the Buchanan family, who were sat in their 7-Sedan Rolls-Royce. For the Buchanan family this was less than a splurge, $12,900 was nothing to the Buchanan’s as they were old money. Tom sat in the back with his mother, breathing in the hot, muggy air. The chauffeur was sitting in the front on the brown leather seats driving. The chauffeur never talked in fear of being reprimanded by Mrs Buchanan.

In response, his estranged mother choses to sell the Grady family ranch and move away, leaving Cole with few options. Describing Cole’s sentiment towards his predicament, McCormack writes, “He turned south along the old war trail and he rode out to the crest of a low rise and dismounted and dropped the reins and walked out and stood like a man come to the end of something” (McCarthy 5). Cole and his best friend, Lacey Rawlins, resolve to ride to central Mexico, where cattle ranches are rumored to still thrive. As they ride through the changing landscape, only stopping to let their horses rest and camp, they encounter a young runaway named Jimmy Bevlins. Rawlins is initially reluctant to let Bevlins join their party and often remarks, “Somethin bad is going to happen.” During a thunderstorm, Blevins- who is scared of thunder- strips off his clothes, leaves his horse, and takes shelter in a ditch. When the boys find him the next day, Blevin’s horse and gun have been stolen. Soon after in the small village of Encantada, the group spot Blevin’s prized horse, which someone else has claimed. The companions attempt to steal the horse back, but in the aftermath the boys become separated from Blevins. Cole and Rawlins escape from the party perusing them, and travel farther south where they find work as cowhands on an expansive ranch owned by the wealthy Don Hector. While John Grady rises through the ranks

“It’s not everyday we get company around here,” I reminded myself, “we haven’t shown our chateau in ages.” As we walked down the elegant staircase, each step creaked one by one. My hand-held lamp with the bright, burning fire was in clutch as we walked around the dusty furniture until we saw some of my men. They were silent, but you could see the fear in their eyes - almost like the fear in Rainsford’s. One had the guts to come up, and offer another light looking for a way to impress me with his concern, but I quickly declined.

With mild aggravation, Bailey drives down a winding and twisting road remotely traveled with scenic attributes. As the trip continues, Bailey considers and communicates to his mother that he will turn around if the house does not appear soon. Sudden memory confirms that the house was in Tennessee and the subsequent movement-based on slight embarrassment startles the cat that she had concealed before the trip began. While grandma simply tries to hold on to something that peaks her interest in this trip, eagerness and revelation further stresses her son and startles the stowaway cat that should not have made the trip anyway. The cat proves to be the mechanism that turns an already hassle filled trip into a fate filled voyage.
