A Punch of Realism

This was a sort of pause to Sal's amazing adventure. After all those nights of pure partying, drinking, girls, and his friends, he comes to a point in his journey that represents a reality check on his nothing but fun trip. He gets to Frsico with the expectations that it would be like Denver or even better. His ideas are all proven wrong when he has to get a job as a cop, live with a woman who can't stand him or her husband, and can't drink or party because he's always working and would get fired. This seems to bring me back to the last blog when i said that maybe Sal will come back to Denver once he's done, but he has to make the trip anyways to discover new things, people, and places. Obviously his time in Frisco will not be remembered as a fun one, but at least he got a feel for what it was like living there, not only the usual party life he's used to.
Remi really grew on me. He's probably the character I like the most in this book. He just seems so into people and not himself like everyone else. Like when he always calls Sal the "funniest person" or when he wants Sal to write about the Banana King who was no one more than a street vendor of bananas. Remi had a tough childhood and he has some issues with stealing with trying to make himself seem more than he is, like when he pretended to be well off or when he got Lee Ann, but he is a character I like and i hope to see more of him later on.
