\n--Dangerous Taxis
\nThis chapter is about several dangerous rides the author had ever taken before she met a truck driver who warn her not to any more. Not the crush she got into, nor the dangerous driver she met but the kind truck drivers\u2019 words changed the author\u2019s mind that she\u2019d never hitchhike anymore. This is not only because she find it dangerous to get on strangers\u2019 cars, but also feel guilty and regret when thinking about the truck driver\u2019s altitude when she easily tell someone she never saw before about another person\u2019s tragedy.
\nEven cannot feel as painful as the sufferer, it is wrong to tell stories about the tragedy to strangers that met the first time. Being thoughtful for the victims can not only bring warm feelings to them but also good ones for inner field of us.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"41789077","dateCreated":"1314674445","smartDate":"Aug 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"whatsoeverzy","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/whatsoeverzy","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/writingstmufall2011.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/41789077"},"dateDigested":1532428649,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"reading summary 5","description":"Zhou Yun

\n--Take Me with You
\nDifferent ridings the author tells in this chapter are memories of her childhood. When only three year old, the writer was taken by a thirteen year old boy on his bike, they pedaled wherever she want and had a lot fun. Also, the writer recalls stories that her father drove her into an accident, drove around with her mother\u2019s friend Irma, a taxi ride when in second grad as well as after mother got a license they drove on the freeway and had a small accident.
\nBy telling these, the author shows her enthusiasm in travelling around. Not necessarily being rich, but have the passion and opportunity to go far away is the very important point of having a Big Life. In the journey of life, it seems similar; you don\u2019t need many things, just the passion of going on. A large package can be a encumber, the process is the most important.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"41789059","dateCreated":"1314674399","smartDate":"Aug 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"whatsoeverzy","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/whatsoeverzy","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/writingstmufall2011.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/41789059"},"dateDigested":1532428649,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"reading summary 4","description":"Zhou Yun

\n-- Shopping for Nothing
\nThis is a story of Grandma Marie who likes to ride downtown in buses. When once companying with her grandma, the author enjoyed the way grandma shopping\u2014window shopping. Since grandma is too shy to talk with others, she never takes a taxi or goes into a shop asking the price. However, she still enjoys the shopping as she staring into the window, she feels owning the product.
\nFrom the story, the writer tries to tell readers that, having something inside head is also another way to own it. Keep what you want in mind when it is difficult to really own one sometimes can be a smart choice to keep the feeling of fulfilled. Do not desire for too much is a way to keep happy, that is what I learned.

\n--Way to Go
\nDifferent from the two stories before, this is a story about Peace Pilgrim other than the author herself. Peace Pilgrim is a woman who walked back and forth across the US many times. She does not call taxis, nor carries any money. She sometimes let her friends drive her across the city, and live in their houses. However, she always walks between cities. She just lives the way she believes, even sometimes she has to sleep in a card board box under an overpass.
\nThe story tells how important it is to find one\u2019s own inner peace rather than staying comfortably. What is more, it is normal and will happen millions of times that we will put our lives in the hand of people you don\u2019t know.

\n--Fabric Thrown over the City
\nThe tale happened in New York City at six thirty A.M. on a Saturday morning. The writer was in a taxi on the way to Columbia University to see teachers on a conference. The street is empty and quiet in the morning, the light is not strong like a fabric thrown the city. The driver told to the writer that, although there are things that cannot image or predict happens, don\u2019t reject them. People can never plan all things out, but just let them come through when they\u2019re ready. Because, there will never be another same day.
\nJust like the driver said, even meeting unpredictable problems, we should not reject or get away from them. Accept what is coming, no matter good or not, is a process of growing as well as the real meaning of life.

The writer hitchhiked with a young man. She became increasingly suspicious of this young man because he dressed up weirdly. Then the writer took the opportunity of the stop at a gas station and jumped out, and began running.

\nOn the way to see the writer\u2019s grandfather, her friend and she accepted a ride in a dump truck. They told the truck driver about her aunt\u2019s stories of losing nine babies, which shocked the driver. After her aunt\u2019s death, the writer felt so sorry about her due to there had been a quarrel between her aunt and her. If one would like to get along with other people in society, the first goal he needs to accomplish is to have a friendly and harmonious relationship with families. In the end, the writer met a young man who was just running away from his wedding on the train. I think the writer wrote this episode because she considered that this man did not realize how holy a wedding is in one\u2019s life.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"41769429","dateCreated":"1314641500","smartDate":"Aug 29, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"sren","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/sren","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/writingstmufall2011.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/41769429"},"dateDigested":1532428649,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Summary 4","description":"In this chapter, the writer recalled the memories about cars or vehicles she took.
