In chapters three and four, i found more things to be interesting, especially chapter four. The histories told in that chapter were very vivid and explained a lot more about the history of the boys and the history of the Quigley's as well. The story of the escape is enlightening and interesting as well. The fact that the young boys could make it as far as they did by themselves was incredible. The fact that the young boys kept their childhood instincts intact while on their journey to freedom was refreshing as well. For instance, when the boys are crossing the Ohio river and they stop to skate on the ice, as dangerous as it was, it kept their spirits alive, and their hopes up. In chapter three, it is interesting to find that Mrs. Quigley is so interested in the political world, although her ideas are not entirely political, but more centered on God and her beliefs. The riots for John Kerry are interesting because in Michigan, everyone voted for George W. Bush, especially in my area. And the change in that spectrum was interesting to see. Even though the election was over, and Mr. Bush had won, people were still going against it even though it could not be changed. It's as if people in this area always dwelled upon the past instead of looking toward a brighter future.
