Quote #1(p.129)
"he had a nice home in Ohio with wife, daughter, Christmas tree two cars, garage, lawn, lawnmower, but he couldn't enjoy any of it because he really wasn't free."
This is the thought that Ray has when the trucker tells him what he thinks about Ray's life. The man has alo of money and a nice family but doesn't seem to get anything out of it because he is stuck in his job... I think this reflects the suburban life. They have everything they need but, they are all stuck in the same type of living.
Quote#2(p.138)
"'Yes, Coughlin it's a shinning now-ness and we've done it, carried america like a shinning blanket into that brighter nowher already."
After reading this quote I had no idea what it meant. But i started thinking about it and it sort of makes me think that Ray was trying to expand the religion of bodhism and want he's saying is that he's done it. The brighter nowhere I think is heaven. He isalso probably thinking of Rosie's suicide attempt and thinking that America is becoming heaven...
