1.) Concerning Jack Kerouac’s “Maggie Cassidy”; The book was written as a somewhat fictional, yet real events in Jack’s life, but names are changed. How does this make it easier/harder to connect to versus if the book was written about random made-up people? Although he doesn’t mention it a lot, does the story being based in Massachusetts affect you at all?

2.)Concerning Lee Child’s, “The Killing Floor”; Although for me it is somewhat obvious, what is different about this book versus the other materials we have read in this class? Has it made it more enjoyable/easier to read or less enjoyable and why?
