Chapter 4-5

Chris’s freedom is the ability to travel and be himself the way he wants to be. I believe Chris gets his freedom from traveling the country, and experiencing the wilderness. I don’t think Chris was to be settled in one particular place, he likes being able to just pick up what he has and continue on down the road, to some new adventure. I think that Chris was able to find happiness while traveling around the way he did.

I think that Chris means plastic people are fake and different from himself. People who are fake try to be somebody that they really not. Money and food are the two things Chris find “plastic”. I agree with his assessment of the money part. You don’t need money to happy, yes it helps to get somewhere but it come and it goes. There are other ways that Chris make up for not having money. I think Chris should have reassessed food. Food is a necessity, you need enough to survive. Rice was not going to cut it for Chris. “ He was reliable, though, a body that showed up everyday, so they didn’t dare fire him. They only paid four twenty-five an hour, and with all the casinos right across the river starting people at six twenty-five, well, it was hard to keep bodies behind the counter.” page (40) Chris didn’t really value money like some people do. Some people rely on having money, money makes them happy.
