Comment!
I commented on World Wide Viewer (WWV)'s blog about Miz Alice and the influence of the Island Belle!
Blue Highway Question & Answer!
How do you think Miz Alice will have an impact on Least Heat-Moon? Give Examples.
Miz Alice is an older, educated lady who gives a tour of her island to Heat- Moon. As she tells the history of the island, Heat-Moon learns also about Miz Alice’s culture, personal story, and beginnings on the island. I believe that Miz Alice will impact Least Heat-Moon to live his life according to what he chooses and to not conform. The island is very dirty, “small, marshy” which has “no mayer, no jail, no local taxes, no water bill.” I think this shows that everyone on the island lives their own life and takes care of just themselves. Miz Alice states that the hardest thing about living on the island is “Having the gumption to live different and the sense to let everybody else life different.” (397) I think that this quote will always stay with Heat-Moon for the rest of his journey and I think that he will teach it to others as well.
