What's Your Fire?

     The father and son continue to travel to the shore, and it is said that they are "carrying the fire." Our group has interpreted the "fire" as the will to keep on going to keep on living. It's the want to survive. It can be argued that survival is considered their purpose in life in the book. 

     What is my fire? What keeps me going? I'd have to say that I believe something great will happen in the future, and I just have to wait for it. I'm going to college in a couple months, and I have the rest of my life ahead of me. I have so much to learn and experience. Education is very important to me, and I'm going to Boston for college. I'll be in a new city, and I'll be studying for a major that's all about learning more. I'm majoring in pharmacy, and new medication is always being worked on. It's more to learn. There is so much ahead of me right now that I want to keep going to experience it all.
