Illuminator Blog Post #2

"I used to smoke cigarettes. I started smoking in college because of peer preasure, and before i knew it I was up to a couple of packs a day. Those were real cigarettes, too, not with the filters like you have now."
Page 80

The reason why i chose this article was because i thought that it was a real funny thing to read, because i know many people who can relate to this. Throughout this scene in the book, the Principal of the school is talking to the protagonist about how he used to smoke, because he saw the nicotene marks on the protagonists fingers. The principal was saying that he used to smoke the real ones withouth the filters. This passage shows how things have changed and how this world is becoming more and more modern. I also ask myself what might happen next? I believe that the Principal and the protagonist are going to begin to have a close connection, and they are going to able to connect.

  1. I like this passage because this talks about how the principle was talking to Jack about how he used to smoke because of peer pressure. I think a lot of people can relate to this because a lot of people are under peer pressure.
