I believe this story was assigned to us because of the real world connections most of us can make. this story elaborates on little thing such as feelings not being met some days, thinking about things people said to you as an Illusion to get you to think a certain way or feel a certain way about life. being open minded about something can lead to other things. this story also shares details about allowing some one to communicate with you brings new thinking and perspective on life. the book also inform me that someone can change a person with in a due time. In the book when the character was at his lowest point in life there were kind people who cared for his life that help him and showed or spoken word to him that made him realize that doing that only leads to one end but the other leads to a lot. I felt like this was shared to the class to tell us that communication with our peers might help someone in the future that need , not only for life saving events but for work or other personal use.
One thought on “Jayden cooper discussion 2”
I totally agree with you, in hard times people just need someone to talk to and the author does express that, it also expresses how someone is also being in an illusion in things that caused them to feel like it is a survival of the fittest. But it is true. This line in the book “they understood how unhappy he must have been with that huge body since it bothered him even after death” do you think they regretted waiting so long on actually showing him they cared?
