Oryx and Crake Reading Journal - day 6

 During class, instead of writing on my blog, I read the book. Yes, that was a perfect way to start, by sharing my personal life that nobody cares. Well, that is that.
 Last time, I think I ended by concluding that Crake is a nerd. Well, on top of that, he is now a pervert and a pedofile. He found this girl on a porno site and printed a frame out of it......I mean....what? Yes, I was shocked at how straight forward and sudden that fact was introduced. Later in the story, that girl, whos name was Oryx, was somehow with Jimmy. Jimmy, who watched that video from the "web site" with Crake was asking her about her past lives. Then I realized how insensitive Jimmy was. He obviously knew that Oryx's past was definitely not the one that she enjoyed, and will not enjoy telling him all about it. One of the most effective ways of learning new lessons is learning from mistakes, whether it is my own mistake or a mistake of someone else, such as my brother. I probably should not share my personal life here, but sometimes, my brother makes life hard for his parents. Then I would learn what not to do and become the "charmer" of the family. By seeing how Jimmy is causing pain by asking Oryx about her obvious dark past, causing her emotional pain, I would learn from his insensitiveness.

OMG I just realized that its past 12, about 2 hours passed my bed time.....well the bedtime that was set last summer, but still. I'm gonna go sleep now....good night everyone zzZZzzZZzz

  2. hoping the reading has come to a conclusion by now! And that you don't have to stay up past your bedtime. Anyway, isn't reading about experiencing vicariously environments, situations and people that we wouldn't ordinarily experience? It would be pretty boring to read about my life for example. This is why I'm not writing a book about myself :p

  3. It seems like you are using class time efficiently, unlike me :) I hope you're enjoying your book. Sleep well and keep on reading!

  4. Time seems to go so slowly when you read a bad book and vice versa. Good luck on your book.
