https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju Is Ronald Adams dead or alive? DEFEND your answer! en-us 2017-03-30 18:16:43 UTC 2017-03-30 18:26:51 UTC hello@padlet.com rose_bohac https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796803 I think that Ronald Adams is alive because everyone could see him and interact with him, which you probably can't do with a ghost and nobody else could see or interact with the hitchhiker. I think that the hitchhiker was actually the one to die when Adams "almost" hit him with his car on the Brooklyn Bridge, the first time he saw him. After that, the hitchhiker's ghost haunted him.]]> 2017-03-30 18:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796803 max_rome https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796859 Ronald Adams is alive, that is the only way he could have made the phone call. We think that in the car crash the hitchhiker died and is now haunting Ronald, the police thought the hitchhiker to be Ronald but really is not, which is why he is alive. Evidence supporting that he is alive, and being haunted is that he would not have been able to pick up the girl or make a phone call to his mother. ]]> 2017-03-30 18:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796859 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796894 Ronald Adams is dead. We think that the hitchhiker represents his ghost or shadow. When he got in the crash on the bridge, that was the first time he saw the hitchhiker and that's why the hitchhiker kept following him around. He was trying to show Adams that he was dead and if he listened to the hitchhiker then he would have realized this. ]]> 2017-03-30 18:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796894 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796898 Ronald Adams is dead. "The Hitchhiker" Adams, the narrator, explained how it had been raining when he crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. He said that when the hitchhiker stepped out into the middle of the road, he swerved to avoid hitting him, but he never said anything about what happened right after he swerved. Adams just jumps right to telling about an event that occurred an hour later. So, when he swerved, he probably crashed or went off the bridge.]]> 2017-03-30 18:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163796898 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797058 I, Alex, think that Ronald Adams is actually alive. My group mates disagree with me on this, however I have proof. My reasoning for this is that Adams was actually just crazy. This theory would explain why he did many crazy things, like trying to run down the Hitchhiker multiple times. Also, it is simpler that Adams is insane rather than that he is dead and somehow alive to experience it.]]> 2017-03-30 18:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797058 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797130 My theory is that he is alive, but not for long. This is because despite any questions concerning the hitchhiker or any past event, he is in the middle of New Mexico alone, and lacks the frame of mind to do what is necessary to survive in such a harsh environment. I think that he is in the exact mental state that his mother is (in his reality).]]> 2017-03-30 18:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797130 amy_deneault https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797135 Ronald Adams is dead because he swerved into the hitchhiker who was leaning against the cables. Ronald might have not seen him because of the rain in New York that morning, hence the drops on his jacket. If somebody were to die right now, their "ghost" would be in the same clothes as the exact moment when they passed. ]]> 2017-03-30 18:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797135 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797169 Ronald Adams is dead. We say this because he keeps seeing the hitchhiker, which we believe is the last thing he saw before he died, so he keeps seeing it again as a figment of his imagination. Also, he keeps seeing the fresh rain on the man's shoulders and it was raining the first time he saw the hitchhiker.]]> 2017-03-30 18:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797169 https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797405 Ronald Adams is alive because if he was really dead than how would he made the phone calls back to his house. I also think that he is alive because when he wasthe hitchhiker he was the last person he saw after he swerved and hit the hitchhiker then killing him]]> 2017-03-30 18:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlyn_ryan/cmuhoqymmkju/wish/163797405
