So much happened in Chapter 13 - Chapter 18, I don't even know where to start.
Sometimes the nursing home scenes are so sad! I feel so bad for the old Jacob – and that is how it is for so many people, treated like they are no longer individuals and like they are children.
And Camel – poor Camel!! I had never heard of Jake Leg before . . . but I looked it up and it is just as described in the book. Jacob and Walter are so good to him!
How about August? He is crazier and meaner than I ever thought he was! Christopher Waltz is going to do an amazing job with this role in the movie version. He was the perfect pick - he can place a "nice" mean guy so well!
This is a great link for info on the movie version of Water for Elephants:

i think robert p will do a good job expect jacob has red hair. i always knew august was a snake. i actually found the jake leg angle distracting to the whole story.
ReplyDeleteI can almost see the distraction. I think the Jake Leg was an attempt to solidify the book with the time period, since this disorder was a symptom of the times. And - Robert P. should do well, I don't think they have him working with "fake" red hair . . . I hope not, that doesn't sound too attractive :)
