Reading Response 2: Ashfall
I just finished reading the book and it was really good. The main character Alex fights through the ash from the erupting volcano to get to his family. His journey takes longer than he expected and ends up having to fight snow and the cold. During his time trying to get to his family Alex meets a lot of different people, some just want food while others were ready to kill to get it. Alex did meet a couple of people that want to help and one person follows and helps Alex get to where he wants to be after a lot of unfortunate events.
The book talks about a lot of things but one thing that sticks out the most for me is how everyone doesn't know what they have until its gone. The main character talks about how he used to fight with his mom about stupid stuff and now after everything is gone all he wishes to say he's sorry. Another thing is how food is taken for granted in America. Once the volcano goes off and everyone starts to starve the people soon realize how lucky they were.

You mentioned snow in the summary, was that during the volcano eruption? I find that curious since I never thought that it could snow during a volcanic eruption.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to agreeing with the quote "You don't know what you have until it's gone." Many people realize that only after they've lost something.
