The car thief has several mixed emotions currently running through his head as he’s driving. He acknowledges helping the blind man get to his house safely, but starts to feel guilt and remorse for what he’s truly done, by stealing his car. The car thief is the second person to go blind in the book so far, and this emphasizes the spread of blindness, and the effect it’s having on the people starting to cause chaos. While he’s driving, he debates whether or not he should speed up and drive fast, disobeying the traffic laws, due to him having worries of the police capturing him and arresting him. This worry and fear that the robber deals with while driving and thinking about what harm he’s truly done, builds tension and nervousness and helps us as the reader to get in his shoes and see things from his perspective.
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 102 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.
