Déjà Vu

Seems as if it had already happened. Hope once again. We were starving, slowly dying."[I] looked across the fields at a house perhaps a mile away. (202) Not much time had passed since we found the previous house. We were scared, didn't know who or what could be inside. But that time it was good. We had found a house full of food and blankets. We stayed there a couple of days resting and eating. The good guys had helped us survive. We had to go because we didn't want to be found, but now, here we were again. "We wandered through the rooms like skeptical housebuyers". (206) It was the same as the last time. At first scary, but then, our hope. I think they call it déjà vu. The feeling of being here before, even though we weren't. I think my father has the same feeling. We went to the beach. I swam in the ocean. It was cold. "[My] teeth were chattering".(218) It was something very different, something they used to do before. Like, something my father would know.
