Flight To Canada

After reading the second part of this book I was still very confused on the theme. The more I read of this book the more I get confused. I am not sure what it is maybe it is because I didn’t read Uncle Toms Cabin I don’t know. I also find the tone of the book to be hard to understand at times. Reed tends to use humor and sarcasm in his writing; I find myself having to read and re-read sections to understand if he was writing literally or meant things in a sarcastic way.
I found the character Quickskill, to be a very insteresting character. Quickskill uses his whitteness and smarts to escape from Nebraska. The way he came up with saying that he had to go buy some vitamin C so that he could escape. Quickskill also come off as a very humorous character to me I don’t know if Reed meant for him to seem humorous but I found it ironic that he seems to hold both whittness and humor.
A part of the book that conffusses me is when Ms. Swille is trying to convince people that Canada is no place to go to. Does Ms. Swille really believe this or is this another hiden message in the book that I didn’t get when I read it?
