While reading section five‚ it occurred to me that I believe Station Eleven will always be favored by most people‚ but it will never be someone’s favorite novel.

Also who has the right to put workers or even children that walk through the fields lives at risk because of all the poison in it. She believes no one has the right to decide these sort of thing‚ especially because of ¨the countless legions of people who were not consulted¨ (Carson Lines 57-58). To support her argument she uses examples from real
