EXIT WEST:
When I read the title of this book “exit west”, I seek that it is divide in two words: exit and west.
“Exit” bring me to mind an emergency exit, that we must use when we are blocked in a place or an exit that we should use when we don't know where we go because of an incident.
The second word, west, bring me to mind the four cardinal points: north, south, east and west.
When I read “west” I think that protagonists are heading west, they use the cardinal point as a way out from something.“West” is also where the sun sets and so where something stops because sunsets the stage where the sun goes off.                                                          So the aggregation of this two words, it makes me think that something is happening and the protagonists of story are running away from the fact.
