The Temptions of Two - Reece

I think the theme of Rogers' essay is that traveling and adventuring with a partner -- perhaps one more daring than yourself -- can push you to do things you thought you never would.  Having a partner to "pressure" you into certain adventures can create memories that last a lifetime.  Although it might be more dangerous at times, taking these risks often times proves to be worth it.  One of the examples that Rogers used to express her feelings was when she said, "I can't resist; I fly through the stop sign chasing her."  I think this quote showed how Rogers was more outgoing and daring when she had a partner.  However, the best example in the piece was when Emily asked, "Would you have done this on your own?" and she revealed how she truly felt about their adventure.
