Outside Reading Week 5 - Post B

Oh my gosh, i can not believe what has happened! There was a huge stampede where all of the circus animals got out. This caused a riot and total chaos! The biggest part of this was when August died. Sure, it's great for Jacob, but he can't stop thinking about him. I wonder what will become of him and Marlena now. Jacob begins to talk to Marlena as his future wife and what their plans for the future hold. They plan on raising their child as well as taking many of the circus animals under their wing. Some animals include the elephant Rosie, Marlena's twelve horses, and the chimp Bobo. I think this is a crazy idea!! First of Jacob has no source of income to support his wife and child, let alone fourteen animals! I understand that they care for them but come on! Also, when I stopped reading, Jacob was just about to call his old college professor. I wonder if he's asking to finish his education and if his teacher will allow him to. I feel really bad for their whole situation, but i feel that because Jacob has been able to make it through so many other hardships, like his parent's death and joining the circus, that he will be able to provide for his family. I am also curious to find out what will happen to the old Jacob. Last I heard from him, his family forgot about him and he was unable to go to the circus with the rest of the people at the nursing home.
