Independant Reading Post #4

#5

One thing that moved me in the book is when Katz begins to feel sorry for ditching Mary Ellen. "'Well, I just, I feel kind of bad- just kind of bad - that we left her out in the woods on her own.' ... 'She's probably still walking right now,' Katz said with a hint of sudden heat. 'Wondering where the hell we got to, scared out of her chubby little wits," (pg 68).

Mary Ellen was a very annoying character whom always made fun of Katz and Bryson. Katz always compalined about her and just barely tolerated her. All day Katz and Byson planned to reach a town to get food and a hotel room to wash up. Mary Ellen fell behind and they left her. The fact that Katz now feels bad moved me. This is because even though she was no friend of his, she was still a person and they were mean to her. Katz realized this and felt bad, which was very unlike him.
