Touching the void – link language to ideas

The statement I picked was “then, what I had waited for had pounced on me” and this Is linked this quote to a little passage in the book that states “if you succeed with one dream, you come back to square one and its not long before your conjuring up another, slightly harder, a bit more ambitious – a bit more dangerous. I didn’t like the thought of where it might be leading me. As if, in some strange way, the very nature of the game was controlling me, taking me towards a logical but frightening conclusion” the two statements linked together because there is a connection when putting them both together. Because the 2nd statement I quoted, when summarised talks about joe not being happy with succeeding in one dream he just has to go out and tackle another one, but its as if he is doing it until death approaches him. This links to the 1st statement because he says “then, what I had waited for had pounced on me” so basically death has finally pounced on him and it seems like his been waiting for this to happen.

    Could be changed to read:

    As can be seen in the second quotation,

    Righto!
