Respond to the quote below:
“What really counted was the possibility of escape, a leap of freedom,
out of the implacable ritual, a wild run for it that would give whatever
chance for hope there was. Of course, hope meant being cut down on some
street corner, as you ran like mad, by a random bullet. But when I
really thought it through, nothing was going to allow me such a luxury.
Everything was against it; I would just be caught up in the machinery
again.”
