In this article, Freyer is bound to sell all of his belongings in order for him to be able to pack up everything he has left in his car and go to New York. As he continues with his project, he becomes more interested with the people that he sold his stuff too instead of his actual old belongings. Instead of worrying about where his belongings end up going, Freyer becomes more attached to the people and the relationships he has formed with all of the people he has meet while working on his project. Overall, he realizes that he wants to go back home to Iowa and start his life back over.
Throughout Freyers life he had given up when things got hard, and just moved and restarted his life, instead of facing the consequences and trying to overcome an obstacle he would run away. This made me think about my life. Has there ever been a time where I had wanted to give up and run away from my problems? The answer is yes. However, instead of getting up and running away I had no choice but to face my problems and conquer them.
In addition, while reading this I began to think about all of my stuff that I brought up to school with me. I brought all types of stuff with my, from stuff I needed to things that I wanted to see on a regular basis. I brought the things that in my opinion mean the most to me. Also I do want to say I do have a house with all my stuff and I do lock my door so that none of my stuff is taken. Honestly, I would never want to get rid of all my stuff.
