I don’t agree with Ciara’s stance
on getting upset about Sal falling in love. I think what he was searching for
when he initially went on the road was something new; something exciting. In my
opinion, one of the most exciting things you can do in life is to fall in love.
Falling in love across the country and meeting new people along the way is even
better. Even if he did end up at home the same way he started, at least he
experienced things. Falling in love is possibly the best experience and he got
out of it before he fell out of love, which was even better. I don’t believe
you have to stay with someone forever just because you fall in love. The best
loves are sometimes fast and then they have to end.
I
think it just goes to show he can’t escape what he thought he could going into
this journey. I can relate this to the lecture in class and how we always try
to escape from society but end up being caught in the same vicious cycle. This
vicious cycle is just the way life works and sooner or later Sal is going to
accept it. What makes it all worth while, however; is the little moments. It’s
following random people on the road and making friends. It’s falling madly in
love for a short period of time. It’s everything he’s doing. He’s just living
and doing the best he can and for him maybe that’s enough. Maybe we’re
expecting too much out of him.
