Rules of the road is being told from Jenna, the main
character's point of view. This is important because we get to know how she
feels about things. If this changed, we might not understand how she really
feels about personal things like her dad being an alcoholic. This book takes
place on the road. Starting in Chicago, where Jenna lives, she drives the owner
of the Gladstone's company to Texas. On the way they stop at different
Gladstone shoe stores to check how they're doing. This setting gets Jenna thinking.
She wonders why their aren't road signs in life. Signs to tell you to watch out
for jerks and when you're doing something right. If the setting stayed in
Chicago she wouldn't really be thinking about these things.
When you increase your knowledge, you see how little you know. You see how much you still have to learn. When you know a lot, you can say: "I know that I know nothing."
