Mary was wondering what had happened that had ended her life so suddenly. The
captain was mumbling something but all I could make out was ?…told ?em so…
meteorites!?. They were heading my way, confused who would be standing in the tunnel
with them, when they were the only humans alive at the time. I introduced myself as
Leon Trout and told them of my story. I only had one question to ask them, ?Have you
seen my left ear anywhere??, I think I left it in the bathroom on the sundeck.
B. The main character and I have some similarities. I will mention five of them.
-He has a craving for knowledge. I too want to know more about why
things happen.
-He blames his mistakes on his big brain. I will sometimes try to pass
blame to other people or things to get the attention off me.
-He wanted to see the cruise passengers through their situation. I
always like to make sure something ends well if I see the start or am
involved with from the start.
-He didn?t want to go into the blue tunnel into the afterlife. I don?t either.
-He forgot about some minor details that he left out till the end. There
are some details I have left out of my life that will have to be told about in
the end
C. This work is relevant to our time because the society in which the story took
place is much like ours. The situation where people changed their minds as to what the
value of paper was is one that it seems that it could happen today.
D. It reminded me of when I was stranded on an island and ate blue footed
boobies to survive. Not really though. It reminded me of times when my so called big
brain got me to do things that probably shouldn?t have been done. We?ll leave it at that.
E. It gave me the idea that maybe the situations I?m in aren?t as bad as they
could be. I could be a blue footed boobie and be eaten by stupid people.
G. I have had a time when I was going to do that was really cool, and then
because of unforseen circumstances, it was canceled.
J. I think that what I will remember most is that you cannot trust your brain all
the time. You can be influenced easily into making decisions that could affect the rest
of your life. This book will forever make me know that our brains can and probably will
turn on us and that we will have to follow our heart into making the right decision
