So lately we haven't been discussing my book, but I've been trying to deduce some of my own conclusions as I will, amidst all the human drama, homework, and harrowing teacher experiences...
On the brighter side, I know what my Senior Ex will be, but no idea how to go about writing it.
This book, so far, is getting very good, at least, that's what I've deduced from the first, oh, twelve pages. What can I say? I've had not much time to read, but I'll speak to you about the concept of the "splinter".
As of now, the splinter is obviously a representation of the human soul, and also a characteristic that not everyone in this story possesses. Yes. The character D-503 has already exhibited characteristics similar to Montag and Winston Smith, seemingly sparing no limits in showing that he is clearly not one of the "others" in this book.
The interesting thing that I have discovered was more about Zamyatin, the author, who had various run-ins with the Russian government, and I look forward to trying to find more information out on his connection and feelings on the government, perhaps expressed through this book.
So yeah. Update over.
