In The Three Day Road Two Brothers And an Aunt Go on a journey through the Great War.
"Dreams of this bear-man waking from his death slumber , bending up to untie his feet and then jumping to the floor, eyes bulging from his fleshy skull, pacing two legs between the bodies of my sleeping family, sinew of of white muscle glistening from the moonlight as he searched for his fur" (pg.38). This quote represents the human imagination when it succumbs to paranoia which lays in the human psyche. Everyone gets paranoid, its a normal occurance and it happens at different levels in different situations for different reasons. Sometimes it comes from a past experience when reminded of it and other times its sibliminal from a hidden fear. In situations of war and famine paranoia is more prominent than under circumstances like living in a civilized modern day city in Canada.
