Encounter With The Drowsy "Fog"

Due to technical difficulties with my primary computer, a picture for this post will be added later on! Sorry!

Over the past week of winter break, the book has found ways of haunting my thoughts. This first occurred on the twenty -hour drive down to Florida with my parents Rick and Lori. Rick decided that leaving around 11:00 pm, after the cookie exchange referenced in Tina’s blog, would be the best time. Due to the lack of traffic, we could make it there almost two hours faster. I said, “alright fine dad, but no music or phone calls”, he laughed at me. I knew he would listen to music and make phone calls, to keep him awake throughout the night. He always dose, yet I always ask him not to. I giggled when I remembered the very first definition I put on my facts sheet for the book. The definition reads, “doing the same thing multiple times and expecting a different outcome”. So in conclusion I am insane, but that’s not all. After a long sleepless night of phone calls, music, and family fun galore, we stopped at 5:00 am for breakfast. As we sat there, my dad came in and out of a sort of daze, my mother and I messed with him saying, “dad, anyone there?”. Finally towards the end of the meal he perked up and replied,”wow I am so sorry I’m in this sort of fog”. I stared in amazement, “what was that?”, I asked, he turned towards me, “I’m coming out of a fog”. Wow, I thought to myself, how crazy! I explained to them the complexities of the “fog” I had just read about in English class, and I how I thought it cool that he had described his daze in such a similar way. I began to think about how many everyday sayings authors put into books. That led to me wondering just how many times a day, or in my entire lifetime, I will directly quote a book. We memorize quotes for our essays and data sheets, and I dread possibly forgetting them. But in reality, we quote books all the time! Just wanted to share that simple thought that came to me over Christmas break!
