Growing up in the country had governed his childhood: the small village of Bellrock, the highway of river down which the log drivers came, drinking, working raucous, and in the spring leaving the inhabitants shocked within the silence.

Three new words:
-raucous
-acrid
-rotunda

Two examples of rhetorical/literary devices:
"But the phrases were for angles in the air to assist him or for demons to leave him." - Imagery

"He was dazzled by her - her long white arms, the faint hair on the back of her neck - as if she without turning had fired a gun over her shoulder and mortally wounded him." - Simile

One sentence statement of your impressions/feelings/reactions towards the section:

The third chapter was so outrageous and so unpredictable in my opinion because the main character, Patrick, did all he can to look for the girl he fell in love with even though putting his life at risk in the hands of his lover's legal partner.
