Shane, Bob, Marian, Joe, and whats-his-name
Well, now I am on page 32. This is a VERY exciting thing as it took me about a MONTH AND A HALF to finish TAOTS, and this is only my second day of reading Shane. I have been quite amused by a few select happenings in this book.
First, Shane's mysteriousness about his past is irksome. I really do wonder why a fairly polite, sensible man would have any major troubles.
Second, the touching event of the pulling-out of the stump. Shane seems to have just felt the urge to pull it out. And I think when they were locking eyes over the pulled-out stump, there was some sort of knowledge that what they were doing was representing something, maybe an annoying secret that was revealed.
Third, that Jake Ledyard guy seems pretty nice, just trying to make a profit, but his efforts were made to seem criminal by Shane's intereference.
Fourth, this whole "lookahere" business. As Mr. Newvine would say, it is a very significant show of a Southern dialect. I really do find it funny when Joe (Bob's dad) says, a number of times, "Lookahere, Marian."
Hope that was informative...I doubt most people read it anyway :o)
