Blog #2: pg. 36-37 answers to questions 1-2

1.)
-Comparisons underlined (pointed out) in paragraphs 1,3,7,9,13, & 16.
paragraph 1: " SInce I was a boy i searched for ways to slingshot myself into the distance..."
paragraph 3: "...I would creap around it like an old woman."
paragraph 7: "...as if there was no limit to her and how fast we would go together..."
paragraph 9: "...like a winding top."
paragraph 13: "...seemed all the way to Piedmont."
paragraph 16: "...looked like a white sheet of paper..."
-In paragraph 3 Bragg compares his youngself to an old woman creaping, to the extent of how careful he would be when his uncle Ed was telling him how dangerous the car was. These comparisons Bragg made gives me the impression that he was a normal young man, yearning for excitement and adrenaline rushes and satisfied his yearn with driving his car fast. Vividly, he explains in great detail by using the comparisons listed above.

2.)
-Outline of events from paragraphs 9-16.
First Bragg writes about the cause, the beginning of the event, which was Kyle Smith and his Chevrolet in paragraph 9 along with his atitude of not backing down from a little race. Next he shares his speed of going over a hundres miled per hour followed by the sweeping turn and the blue lights from the police car in paragraph 10. This is the paragraph which 'aroused my curiousty' Bragg tells the readers he doesn't really rememebr what happened next. Forcing his readers to continue to read on. Then follows in paragraph 11-16 details from his memories in perfect sequence to 'yes' make sense.
