White Rabbit Reflection

The prominent theme in the travel story is that being alone in nature (especially travel) can be beneficial and allows one to discover themself. Kieth repeatedly mentions how traveling in a group is more common, but she prefers traveling alone to create a serene and creative experience. Kieth spends a whole paragraph listing out the gear that she uses because she believes that it is a very important part of travel. The lengthy list with items separated with commas or a period makes the reader pause and think about the purpose of every item she brought with her and how meticulously she packed. Another piece of language used is the comedy that is effortlessly interjected throughout. She mentions that her "level of error is having bought unfrosted Pop-Tarts," which made me laugh, as well as made the possible dangers of traveling alone seem less scary. Despite mentioning that traveling in groups is more common, she makes traveling alone seem much more appealing through her light attitude.
