TTTC: Notes
Find a quote from this short story that shows how Norman Bowker's end was possibly predictable.
Include page #. For additional credit, include your thoughts on the quote.
"At one point he had enrolled in the junior college in his hometown, but the course work, he said, seemed too abstract, too distant, with nothing real or tangible at stake, certainly not the stakes of a war." (page 155) This sounds like he doesnt see a reason to do any work, that it all seems all worthless.
