Gary Paulson

In Gary Paulsons book -Guts, He tells his storys of the hardships that he has been through with nature and the real world. In the certain story i read was about a man in his Early fiftys who lived on a ranch. Paulson was working as a volunteer for the firedepartment as the emergency vehicle technition. Pualson said he got the call mid afternoon when a woman said her husband was having chest pains. Pualson raced to the ranch. as soon as he got there the man was at the kitchen table holding his left arm. Gary went to help the man but a suddon jolt hit him and fell on the floor. Gary went to do CPR and once again a jolt hit him. Gary knew the man was dead but didnt give up. When Gary writes these passages i think he wants us to know that life isnt just a bunch of rainbows and butterflys. Things happen and thats just the way it is.
