London

This essay does not focus on one character in an extreme but several characters some unique but others so normal, all who forgo some sort of journey in their own world. For the midget just going to the shoe store was her place to escape, to feel, special, and mostly to feel normal. another chacarater enjoys venturing off into her own town in winter because its not normal like the other months, there are no distractions, the streets are quiet and she really enjoys this mini journey, nevertheless shes needs a back bone, her home. After wandering the streets its great to go back to the place you call home. She does not try to cut off all of her other ties when on her journey like chris McCadnles did. Her journey was comfortable and easy. Despite being a grown adult it is odd to me that she needs an excuse to wander. Why cant someone just go for a walk, why cant she just wander the city she calls her home. Maybe she needs to justify to herself why she is wasting time that she doesn't have to waste in her adult life. Or possibly do you need some sort of goal no matter how irrelevant or small it is to set of on this journey of hers. So its not the goal that is important in this cases, its the mere fact of having a goal. You are not wasting time, you are not wandering the streets without reason, you are simply trying to accomplish a goal. Chris had a set goal set in place too that at times was very far away from his actions, like delaying and taking time off and working at Mcdonalds or living with me for a time. I think we should all have goals, but we also need to have spontaneity and the freedom to be able to do whatever, forget everything and just do something we enjoy whether its taking an hour and walking around the streets in the winter or anything else.
