Booker's Character Analysis
The gentle resonance of Booker’s snoring sounded throughout the bedroom. Tom’s breathing fell into an unconscious rhythm with the soft, nasal rasp, his chest rising and falling with each inhale and exhale of air. Trapped in the REM cycle of sleep, he dreamed of the life he would share with Booker, the life he knew was his destiny. He felt safe knowing the dark-haired officer was by his side, safer than he’d ever felt since becoming an adult, and it wasn’t because Dennis was an outstanding cop. It was the intensity of his lover’s devotion that cocooned him, the love lavished upon him wrapping him in a protective shroud, shielding him from the memories of his assaults. He could not remember ever feeling so loved, so unified. When he was …show more content…
The dark-haired officer’s spicy scent infused the air, and he breathed in the intoxicating bouquet, drawing courage from the familiarity of the masculine aroma. He could feel Booker’s erection pressing against him, teasing him, seducing him with the power of its virility. He longed to explore the hardening flesh with his mouth, to taste his lover’s sweet juices as they flowed against his tongue, but his nervousness soon got the better of him. He was a novice when it came to pleasuring men, and he feared making a complete fool of himself if he started something he couldn’t go through with. While he wanted to experience the titillating sensation of Booker’s cock gliding through his lips, he was unsure of his limitations. What if he choked or gagged? Or worse, what if he threw up? The terrifying thoughts soon overpowered his senses, and he paused mid-kiss, his muscles locked with panic, his mind too frozen to proceed. His lips trembled against Booker’s taut flesh and closing his eyes he attempted to dispel the distressing images destroying his confidence. But a little voice inside his head played on his insecurities, persistently telling him he was an idiot to think he could ever pleasure a sexually experienced man like Dennis Booker, and if he tried, he would most certainly

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected.

I believed that he found what he was…

    While lying on the grass in the front yard, I imagined the exciting night ahead. Before long, Taylor and his girlfriend, Kara, arrived and picked me up. Almost immediately, I stood up and sauntered in my Duke sweatshirt and basketball shorts over to their car. I jumped into the backseat. Immediately, I was assaulted with the strong smell of perfume that had been sprayed inside the car because it belonged to Kara. Tonight instead of driving, she decided to let Taylor drive illegally without a license. As we drove off to Erik’s house, the rendezvous for tonight’s “Goatman” adventure, we saw a police officer had just pulled a car over. As we drove by, we breathe easier and relaxed because we didn’t see any more cops on the way.…

    A narrow shaft of sunlight radiated through the awning window, the shimmering beam shining directly onto Booker’s face. With a moan, he fought his way back to consciousness, and opening his eyes, he squinted against the light of the bright rays. A bone-shaking immediately shiver ran down the length of his body, and pushing himself to a sitting position, he drew up his knees and wrapped his arms around his torso. The temperature in the room had dropped rapidly during the night, but he had remained blissfully unaware due in part to head injury he had sustained from the force of the ceramic phone smashing into his skull. The memory of the assault returned in vivid color and lifting his hand to his head, he gingerly explored the lump on his…
