The article “Life in a cold climate” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself, he tried to prove it that even though the weather of New Hampshire is cold people still love it. The point of the article is to figure out how long he can stay outside with very cold temperature, and how much the people that live in New Hampshire like the weather.
This essay is about Bill Bryson, lives in a cold climate area, and enjoys this time of the year. He always likes to go outside without wearing appropriate outwear to keep warm. He has this unusual routine where he goes to the mail post dressed in summer clothing. Just so he can get his mail, and estimate how long it takes him to stand in the cold temperature. When he came back from the post box one day, and into his house he felt so cold that he half of his whole body was numb. One of the hardest thing about the city he lives in is that temperature goes below zero, in fact the record for New Hampshire was -46F below zero in 1925. On their spare time, the people of New Hampshire like doing outdoor activities such as skiing, ice skating, and sliding on local golf course. The people love the weather here and are adapted to it. This whole chapter basically talks about how a man test himself to see how long he can survive
i disgee what Bill Bryson talks about in this chapter because he killing him self to stay outside for very cold weather without no coats and glove on. that's not good for his health becuase the weather he live is new to him and he can get sick. eventhough people lived that place like it he would not be like them because the people live this weather for long time and they get used to it. i used to live in Africa and when i came U.S the weather are so cold and it was not really good for me becuase where i came from is really hot so he was just like me the weather will not wilcoming you the first time.
ReplyDeleteI dont think Bill Brysons idea of seeing how long he should go with less clothes in the winter because its crazy, he could get a very bad cold, or get frost bite. I know he wanted to see how long he could withstand the cold but its a shock to his system and could potentially be dangerous.
