Chapter 13

Chapter 13 is titled “Secrets and Politics” and that pretty much sums it up. Brende finds out about a council meeting in which the men that govern the town convene and talk about arising issues. I don’t think that this would work too well in today’s society. I think that our democracy even though it has its flaws works somewhat well. Towards the end him and his wife travel to Kansas and check out a small town that his mother recommended. They seem to like it and he strikes up the idea of becoming a taxi driver. After peaking at everyone’s last posts I wonder if he decides to make this a career…? I was also wondering why these people drive from PA to KY just to check it out. He never says but they must like riding in the car, A LOT!

Why would he want to be a taxi driver? I guess he has no aspirations at all. But i guess taxi driving is a step up from an Amish farm.

i never noticed his car riding preferences in the book until you mentioned it. Good call
