One summer, I drove to New Orleans from my hometown in tahoe, California. Deep in the desert, I met a young man standing by the road. He gave a thumbs-up in one hand and a can of gasoline in the other. I drove past him. I think the others will stop.
Besides, the fuel tank is just a cover for stopping a car and robbing a driver. There was a time in this country when people would think you were an asshole if you ignored people in need. If you help them, you are a fool. Criminal gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves and carjackers are lurking everywhere. Why take the risk? "I don't want to participate" has become a national creed.

If you help, you are an idiot. Criminal gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves and carjackers are everywhere. Why take the risk? "I don't want to participate" has become a national mantra.
After several States, I'm still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him alone in the desert didn't do me much harm. What bothers me is how easy it is for me to make this decision. My foot didn't even leave the accelerator. Can someone stop the car now?
After several States, I'm still thinking about the hitchhiker. It makes no difference to me to leave him alone in the desert. What bothers me is how easy it is for me to make this decision. My foot didn't even leave the accelerator. I want to know, is anyone parking now?
I'm thinking about the destination of my trip-New Orleans. This is the background of tennessee williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. I think of Blanche du bois's famous saying, "I always rely on the kindness of strangers." The kindness of strangers. This sounds strange. Who can count on the kindness of strangers nowadays?

Du bois famously said, "I always rely on the kindness of strangers". This sounds strange. Who can count on the kindness of strangers now?
One way to test this is that a person travels from one coast to another penniless, relying entirely on the goodwill of his fellow Americans. What kind of America will he find? Who fed him, rested him and rode him? The idea aroused my curiosity. But who would travel so unrealistically? Well, I thought, why don't I try?

At the age of 37, I realized that I had never taken any risks in my life. So I decided to make a conceptual leap. America is too wide-from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, there is not a penny. If someone gives me money, I will refuse.
At the age of 37, I realized that I had never taken any risks in my life. So I decided to make a conceptual leap across American territory-from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean at no cost. If someone gives me money, I will refuse.
I only accept hitchhiking and help with food and rest. This will be a penniless money trip. My final destination is Cape Fear in North Carolina, which symbolizes all the fears I have to overcome along the way.
I only accept elevators, eat and rest. In a country where money is paramount, this will be a free trip. My final destination is the "corner of fear" in North Carolina, also known as the "corner of the field", which symbolizes all the fears I have to overcome along the way.
Extended data:
This part mainly examines the knowledge points of predicate clauses:
The function of predicate is to indicate what the subject is, and it can be composed of nouns, adjectives or words or phrases equivalent to nouns or adjectives. Please note, however, that the predicate clause is a noun clause, which is just one of the cases where a noun acts as a predicate.
Common subordinate conjunctions of leading clauses are when, where, why, who, how and that. They are all pronouns, that is to say, they are all nouns, so all four nominal clauses can be derived: subject, appositive, object and predicate.
In English, a word can have many parts of speech at the same time-this is where he lives. Among them, it is the predicate of the main sentence and the part of speech of pronouns; Where leading clauses are (subordinate) conjunctions; Where is the adverbial in the clause?
