Q3 Blog #7

This outside reading had to be about change, so I decided to write about the book that I am reading. I am reading Diary by Chuck Palahniuk, which I talked about last time. In the book there is much change mostly centered around the island. The island used to be a beautiful secluded place which was only inhabited by the native families. Now in the novel the mainland shoreline is being highly developed so now the island is densily packed withrich tourists buying summer homes. It is much like the village in Nectar in a Sieve, where it is secluded and only an indian village. After the tannery is built it becomes a crowded town with both indian's and white people. Both of these novels shows the effects that outside sources can have on otherwise undiscovered places. Both of the places changed greatly when they were touched by their outside forces.
