Cold Mountain 143-353

SUMMARY

Inman is no longer on his Journey alone. He is now traveling with Veasey, along the way they stopped and helped a men name Junior get a bull out of a creek. To thank them Junior invites them to dinner. Inman goes to his house and meant his family then the man's wife Lila tried to seduce Inman. Junior walked in with a gun. Latter Inman and Veasey got arrested and was mixed up with all the other criminals. When Inman was in jail I could not help but think that the situation he was in was similar to the begging of the story where he was around wounded people and dead people. Inman ended up escaping out of jail with the help of a slave. Inman went back to Junior's house to get his haversack, while he was there he killed Junior and continued on his way. Inman's journey was a long and bitter one every places he goes one bad thing after the other happens to him. but at the end of his journey he ends up with his true love Ada, they now live together in a village. Inman does not want to return to the army. Ada , Inman, and Stanford went on their last journey together.In which Inman ends up getting shot. Inman dies and Ada has to move on with her life, and she found peace with her life.

QUOTATION

"He had grown so used to seeing death, walking among the dead, sleeping among them . . . that it seemed no longer dark and mysterious" (Frazier 180).

REACTION

After being around death for most of his life, Inman is now use to it. It no longer affect him. It has become normal to him, it is now a part of his life.

The ending of the story was sad it was not what i predicted. I thought that Ada and Inman would live together happily ever after.
