Chapter 3

 

Puente Hills aka “Garbage Mountian” as Humes describes to us from Big Mikes perspective. Here in Chapter 3 Big Mike explains to us his point of view. If you didn’t already know Big Mike is a heavy machine operator at Puente Hills. He is also known as “the father of Puente Hills”. He loves his job and loves going to work every day, but he feels that we need a new idea. Big Mike is concerned because Puente Hills is increasing and he doesn’t know if it can take anymore. In chapter 3 Big Mike describes to us that there’s not just trash in this pile up at Puente Hills. But what is also known as human remains. Skulls from decades ago. Isn’t that just crazy? Actual body parts in the dump? I was so interested in finding out what they do with the remains and what they do with them when they find them. I was amazing by Big Mikes calmness when telling us about this. Like it was normal for him. Things like this fascinate me and I can’t wait to see what else this book has in store for me.
