Question & Answer Heat Moon

Miz Alice talks about a recent disconnection of the kids from the land, "I read in the Sun that kids feel disconnected. How can that be? Connections lying over the land like stardust. They live in the Land of Nod"(394). How do you think this relates to Heat-Moon's overall story and point of view in Blue Highways?

Heat-Moon's overall views towards Miz Alice's opinions on disconnection with the land has a strong relation to his overall point. After having his wife leave him his journey across the U.S. is in search for a connection with something. He travels to feel a purpose and connection with the places that he explores. Relating to Miz Alice's point is a main influence on the story's meaning as a whole.

I commented on "Ask Why Not's" blog. I commented on the struggle the presented with the new allowance of freedom that comes with college. It has been hard for many of us. But I think freedom is part of all the fun, even though work comes with it too.

I commented on A roach's blog on cell phones being used as an educational tool. It's scary to think about the advances in the electronic world, but it was also a good point to discuss.
