House of Sand and Fog- post 3- Connector, Brittany Miller
April 9th, 2009 — 09:02 amWell in this section, Kathy attempts suicide on her old house’s land, where the Behrani man and his family now live. Behrani finds Kathy attempting to do this and he stops her. He takes her in the house and takes care of her, he also allows her to stay there for a little while. Well, Kathy’s lover, Les, doesn’t know where she is at so he goes haywire and goes to Behrani’s house and takes them all captive as hostages.
Besides the fact that this book reminds me of some sort of soap opera, it reminds me of a movie called hostage. In the movie hostage a family is taken captive in their own home by a strange man.
My question to you is why do you think les goes this insane over some woman that he is having an affair with? Is she that important to him or is he just blinded by their spur of the moment ‘love’ affair?
