Making Connections

In my book, it is very easy to make connections to other works of literature, namely, other books in the Hitchhiker's Series. Arthur Dent makes several references to the earth blowing up, something that happened in the first book in the series. He also references characters from the other books. I do hope those characters make an appearance. I can also connect to real world places. A main character is named after a real train station in england. There is also a part in the book where he is trying to talk to this girl but he keeps being interrupted by a lady that wants him to buy a lottery ticket. I have been in situations before where I am trying to talk to someone but we are interrupted by an outside event.

Surprising Section

I was surprised by the main characters chase after this girl Fenny, named after Fenchurch train station. He had never met her before and he seems to be obsessed with her now. It seems like he forgot his girl from the other books, Trillian. The authors style contributed to the surprising behavior of the main character because he wrote it like it was extremely ridiculous and odd that it was happening. He almost seemed awestruck of his characters behavior. It was also surprising when Arthur Dent lost Fenchurch's number and now has no way to call her. I suspect he will find a way to contact her soon but I have not read that far yet.

I do look forward to what will happen as his continues his chase of this girl.
