4,000 Days-No.5

In the story, the author, Fellows, wrote about when he was think about prison breaking. Fellows was at a loss whether to do or not. He couldn't have patience anymore to live under the harsh life at the prison. But he was worried that if he fail to do prison breaking, he would have capital punishment for sure. I predicted the later story by using the reading strategy of predicting the story using my experience and background.

I had watched the American TV drama called "Prison Break." The drama is about people who did prison breaking and run away from police. In the drama, the main character of the drama, Michel, once said that "We need to have courage and strong decision to do something that is really risky." This word helped me to predict the later story of 4,000 Days.

I predicted the story that the author, Fellows, would not commit the prison breaking. Because he doesn't seem to have courage and strong decision. If he did have, he wouldn't take drug. The person who has courage and strong decision, s/he will say no and never take drug. Therefor, I think he would choose to stay prison to not get more punishment.

However, I noticed while I am writing this that it is impossible him to do prison breaking. Because if he did and didn't succeed, he should still stay in Bangkok prison or already taken capital punishment and if he did succeed the prison breaking, he should still run away from police and impossible to write this book.

I read it with voice. The reason is because I have a headache now so as impossible to concentrate reading.

I agree with you about the courage and strong decision. I think that they are things to escape from distress of before own eyes. Therefore, I also He can not commit the prison breaking.

In your prediction of next chapter, I blew on the tea which I was still drinking.
>>impossible to write this book.
