IR Blog Post 1- Quote

"But when I woke up it was dawn and I was in downtown Vegas and for a minute, I didn't know what the hell i was doin here"

I thought that the story this man told was very intriguing. While a bunch of people were waiting at the bar during the motorcycle race this man comes up and screams to this whole crowd about what has happened to him the past 12 hours. He doesn't even seem to care who is listening but he tells every one that he had been traveling all night to come to Las Vegas. He says he was beat up by two men and that he felt he had to take a journey to Las Vegas to see the Mint 400 (the motorcycle race). This is great because this is a short descriptive story of a journey within the journey of the entire book about the main characters. This man needed to take a journey to feel better about himself and e thought it would make him feel better.
