Cannery Row-fiction paper

Mack and the boys packed up to begin their road trip, destination: Carmel Valley. Mack knew around where their destination lie. As the trip commenced they became consumed in the chatter of how their money would be spent. Doc was to give them 5 cents for every frog they captured and returned to him. All the boys determined that the money was to be spent on a party for Doc, to thank him for being such a great guy. They chatted with excitement as their imaginations ran wild, thinking up extravagant party ideas. In the bed of the truck lied a 5-gallon-jug of whiskey; that Eddie had brought from the bar.

Gay being the bright man, who he was, talked all the boys into thinking that the car could make the jump if they got enough speed. Instructing them that, “if we get enough speed, we can make this here jump, and it will save us a day of backtracking.” The boys went along with this idea, deciding after a couple more drinks that backtracking sounded as though it required actual effort. They put the truck in reverse moving as far back as possible, accelerating as fast as their car would permit. Barely breaking 55, they made it across the jump.
