The scene where the characters are at war, one of the characters' father killing someone that was deemed a windigo, the characters are following a lynx and ended up in a forest fire, memories of one of their aunties, and dealing with the struggles of the characters trying to fit in to Caucasian culture and speaking their language. It affected the pace of my reading to try to keep track of their experiences.

First Impressions
My first impressions on Three Day Road are not what i expected them to be. I expected the book to be about, mostly at least, about the war not flashbacks to post and prier to the war. It also jumped from two characters in the book so far I have read which gives two view points to better understand what was going on through both of their experiences. I found the reading hard to follow with so many stories told at once to be challenging.

I agree with your reasoning, I also found that the flashbacks in the book caused me to be confused. I really enjoyed the parts that talked about the war aswell. The flashback telling of the Wendigo was a flashback that was used effectively and helped to make the book more understandable. The war parts are very descriptive and helped me visual what Boyden was talking about.
ReplyDeleteI agree with nick's reasoning because he really talked about how he really felt when he first started this book. However i disagreed with the part where nick says he thought the book was going to be about war. The reason I disagreed was because when i started reading the book i thought the book would be more about soldiers returning home.
