Reflection:
This book is about human interest. Maybe it gave me a new thought that family members listen and respect to one another while miserable things happen and keep encouraging one another then find a way out calmly and peacefully, and continue a new life. I probably do not like this book. It is so boring that even I wanted to give up. Everything went in a strange way so I can’t understand the content. Human interest’s book is very hard for me to read. I think couples need to inclusive each other. When something terrible was happened, they need to help each other and survive the difficult. If I am Macon, I will try to correct the bad habit that Sarah doesn’t like. He is too old-fashion. His wife wanted to separate was his entire fault. He didn’t understand his wife’s mood. He just insisted on his opinion. The Accidental Tourist also has a movie. Lots of people said that the movie is more interesting than the book. Maybe I should try to watch the movie if it could change my reflection about The Accidental Tourist.
