Brayden-Summarizer 5-6

In chapter 5 he talked about the history over fire throughtout it while talking about how they fight fires.  He also intergrates the history of fire in when he is talking to the class of 5th graders.  He gave some insight to what it is like fighting firers with your younger brother.  How even though they don't hug or get emmotional after firers does not mean he is not protective of him during firefights.  He recalls and editor trying to get how they had grown closer while on the job.  He tells the editor that it has no barring on their relationship, and after fighting fires they only have time to say good bye before heading home.  Chapter 6 is about his history in New Auburn and what he remembers from being a kid and the fires he has fought there.  One story is about Herbie and Delmar, Herbie.  It sounded a like the movie Grumpy Old Men when they were both living they were friends, but also jeered each other and hated when the other called.  When Herbie passed away though Delmar admitted he missed him.  There were a lot of little anecdotes about his childhood in New Auburn.   He also went into the fires he has been called to over the last few years.


He wrote this section with a lot of different antidotes and short stories about New Auburn and the people there.  He did this with a stream of concuss style, the order of stories were arranged by where they were on the route he ran, something on the route would trigger a thought that would turn into a story.  This gives it a kind of laid back, easy going feel to it and also gives it a very natural flow to this section.
