This son reminds me of Nick in "Big Two-Hearted River". He just wants to be alone in a "nowhere land" where he in peace, where he only thinks about what he has to physically do to live. He makes "nowhere plans" and pretty much has no direction other than wandering the woods.
john i really liked this! lyrics: He's a real nowhere Man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his nowhere plans For nobody. Doesn't kave a point of view, Knows not where he's going to, Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, please listen, You don't know what you're missing, Nowhere Man, the world is at your command. He's as blind as he can be, Just sees what he wants to see, Nowhere Man can you see me at all? Doesn't kave a point of view, Knows not where he's going to, Isn't he a bit like you and me? Nowhere Man, don't worry, Take your time, don't hurry, Leave it all 'till somebody else Lends you a hand. He's a real Nowhere Man, Sitting in his Nowhere Land, Making all his nowhere plans For nobody.
I also think it is important how it says "for nobody" and "just sees what he wants to see"
This is a really good comparison and gave me the idea to blog about a song as well. You could also relate the song to a lot of the chapters because they are so vague and don't seem to be getting anywhere.
All this talk reminds me of the book we read last year for summer reading titled "A Separate Peace". The book is set around WWII at a prep school in NH. It is about a boy who struggles to find himself and eventually his "separate peace".

ReplyDeleteI agree this is a really good relation. It shows how Nick is living on his own and is like a "nowhere man" so it definitely fits with the story.
