Field Trips Stuart Dybeck &Coming Home Again Chang-Rae Lee
Great story, had fun with it. Liked a lot of the lines of humor from himself, his friends, and the moments recreated. I liked the full circle ending from both field trips that were separate years apart. The backup narrative contributed by the side characters comments.
I truly enjoyed the enormous amount of description compiled into the sentences. In three and a half pages I went on two journeys with this author.
I also enjoyed the lack of overfilled emotion and the honest thoughts about the jobs and comments.
The main concept is the life lessons learned through youthful deliberately planned school outings to promote life lesions. The lesions were deeper then the school would expect. The idea was to bring together all these walks of life and examples of our most simple and base variations of the truthful human lives. Religion martyrs, killers of living creatures to feed others, and incarcerated woman who were forced to have sex at ten with their fathers.
They were both stories that spanned time and conveyed messages that take decades to put together.
They were able to balance the stories in a manner to convey the feelings and emotions and imbedded flashbulb memories that stayed around to build the entire picture of not what was happening but what was happening inside and out.
Coming home used the cooking the favoritism the passage of time the inner most honesties at yet a later date.
The college through life stories going back and forth against the new life in the house with the disese closing in.
