What do you think of the informational tidbits/tangents on history (of the trail, of the National Park Service, etc.), geology (of Centralia and the mountainside in Lehigh Valley), ecology (the effects of global warming, zinc mining, dam building), and social customs (the interaction and views of different people) in the book?
Do these asides enhance the structure of the narrative or detract from it?
Select any one of the "lessons." Why do you think Bryson chose to weave that particular "tidbit" into his story?
Be sure to cite the section to which you are referring.
REMINDER:
If your post consists of only a rehash of what has already been said, I have no evidence that you have actually read. You MUST say something new. Find ONE thing to talk about and focus on that! Please don't tell me the story--use examples from the story to make your point.
