A collection of negative travel experiences and how they reflect society. These stories reflect our fear of the unknown and aim to teach an underlying moral to from the experience. The travel narratives come from Washington, New York, Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, and Alaska. The stories are often told to trump another story that had just been told in order to create sympathy and shock. Collected by Coryse Templeman, Dr. Eric Eliason's ENGL 391 class, Fall 2008.
