Peter Flamming - Comments 3 and 4

I agree with Nick when he said that the little asides help you relate more to Bryson himself and how Bryson acts like the everyday average Joe. The tidbits add nothing to the plot and even hinder it, like Nick said, but they do clue you in to some necessary facts that help you understand the storyline and asides better. Relating to the author better can sometimes help you read smoother and get you imagination really working to peak efficiency.

I also agree with Kaila when she talked about how the asides help you feel as though you are walking in the woods and thinking to yourself and imagining your setting. Walking out in the great unknown wilderness is something few of us have truly experienced and I think Bryson does his best to help us get a better grasp of the sheer magnitude and ferocity of the trail.
