Chapter 3 - we keep hoping Taylor's disdain for the region will be proven untenable, but, alas, there is only one good thing in all of Appalachia (or the part of it she sees) - Eric. Maybe (big maybe) the sheriff will prove to be all right. But everything else is toxic. It's a pretty place, yes, beyond the litter... don't these home owners care enough to properly dispose of trash...? But the really telling detail is the way people stare at the newcomer, the outsider. That was CREEPY. The kind of thing that makes people hate small towns and Bible Belt people. I love-love-love the way Charles challenges Taylor to find something positive about the place.
