Pre-Reading: Do you believe we process information too fast? What is your view on technological advancements?
I think we do because if we took our time to respond correctly on a thought we wouldn't have many mistakes or misunderstandings in this world. My view on technology is that it is a waste of sources because we are building the machines that will eventually control us. Why would we create something that will take us down? Technology is evolving fast but our economy is declining and it's not a good mix.

Plot/Reaction: List the places the protagonist visits on his journey out east.
  • the Hudson River
  • the subtreasury
  • a regular house
  • New York is the east**
