Carl Hofman Dialectical Journal

Decent Essays
I was shocked when he said about the people who was traveling with him in a plane. Some of them were going to work and some were going to meet their families and they were not even scared that they are in the world most dangerous flight. Again it was Carl Hoffman's luck that he and the other passengers landed safely but after landing that's what happened which Carl Hofman was scared of. The plane skidded off the end of the runway and 187 passengers died and some of were on the ground. That’s really sad news to hear. I really liked the last quote of this chapter, “Either your time comes or it doesn’t, and when it does there’s just not anything you can do about it.” This quote is so true.

    The visual imagery I chose was, ¨The seat belt sign flickered it’s vibrant colors off, creating a swarm of people to emerge from their seats. Unfamiliar faces hustled their things and rushed out, as if their life depended on it¨ (5). This is effective because coveny’s the way I viewed the whole experience when the plane landed in Bulgaria. The auditory imagery I chose was, ¨Rosters selfishly screamed to awaken every living thing¨ (6).…

    The latest part of the reading has gone by really slow as the past 5 chapters only seem to be in to two different settings during a single night. It seems like Holden is recollecting way more than a real human being would be able to recollect. He is telling us every single possible detail about where he is and what he is experiencing. I have also found it hard to connect to this portion of the book as he his dunk for a good bit of it. The part I was able to connect with the book is Phoebe as she acts similar to my younger brother.…
