The Man Who Fed the World Chapter 2

Well I liked this chapter a lot better then the first one. Since I got accepted to the University of Minnesota it was interesting to see how the college worked back then. Norman Borlaug made a huge impact on the University through wrestling and his future. Also Norman and Margaret's love story is really cute. Meeting in the University coffee shop and then knowing 2 years later that they would be married is just amazing. It seems like love at first sight for both of them. A more modern day fairy-tale. Once they did get married they didn't have a honeymoon; not that it really mattered since they loved each other so much. Norman's side jobs are rather fascinating at well. Working out in the forest and surveying everything. It's very interesting how he talks about that he became 'in balance with nature' like many poets I've learned about in English talk about from the Transcendentalists to the Romantics. This chapter embodies universal themes of love, perseverance, and nature. A reminder that love , nature, and all that are involved in more than art and literature they can also be involved in science. :)
