Over the summer we had to read two books. The first was The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh, which was a relatively short book. And the second one was Endurance by Caroline Alexander, which was a pretty thick book. The two books assigned to me over the summer contain a story element that relates to my life experience. In endurance, the crew attempts to cross the entire Antarctic continent but then sinks the ship because it is stuck in the ice and crashes. They must therefore go to the nearest civilization which is on an island. They eventually make it to the island but unfortunately it's the wrong side so they have to travel to the other side. I can relate to this because about a year ago my friend Lizzy and I had to drop our friend off at her house. She lives in the middle of nowhere and we've never been there before. So on the way back we literally took every wrong turn we could take. And finally we found our way to the highway, which we knew a little about. But about a half hour later we realized we were heading toward Savannah, Georgia, the opposite direction from where we were supposed to go. Once we realized this, we took the nearest exit and turned around. Eventually we headed in the right direction and headed home. Now the loved one was about a man who worked at the pet cemetery, this job was known as "a job an Englishman just won't do". And because of his job, people treated him differently. I don't feel like I understand this story, I don't have a job and I'm not treated differently or like an outcast because of something I do. Loved One and Endurance doesn't really remind me of the plot incident that happened in another book that I read or at least nothing comes to mind. Honestly, I don't read books for fun, so unless I was there for school, I didn't read them and even then, I probably didn't pay much attention to the books that. I know from start to finish and that I read "for fun" it's the Twilight saga and it has nothing to do with either story..
