Reaction To The Chase Annie Dillard

Reaction to the “Chase” by Annie Dillard The story is about children getting into trouble. I am impressed how children were thinking like adults and what their choices were to survive the situation. The children evidently liked the idea of throwing snowballs at cars which would any normal kids do. In the story they incessantly were running away from the adult and got caught. But the thing is that when I was a kid, I with my friend were throwing balloons filled with water at cars but we didn’t get caught, the adult from the street just got tired of running after us. The author’s language is full of happenings and excitement. I think many kids have an experience of getting into trouble or being chased, or just being in a difficult situation.
The message of the story is that the only thing the children can do is survive the situation.
