Blog 5 Alive

I feel that Drummand's "Alive" was a story used to give people a reality check. Tomorrow is never garunteed and we shouldn't live life like nothing could ever happen to us. There are strange people in the world that would have nothing to lose if they hurt someone. Even though in the story, the strange person turned onto a different road, the woman still felt vulnerble. Being a police officer doesn't make u less afraid. Being alive is a gift, and it could be taken away at any time. The structure of this story was interersting because it built suspense. The story started out normal and grew into a real chase.
