Holy crap, this book trips me out so much. I'm so confused and my brain is tripping out. Scratch what I said in the last blog post. Pretty much Mr. Orr's dreams keep coming real in are ruining the world. So pretty much they have to turn of this Dr.'s "sleeping machine." I'm not going to spoil the end even if you wind up not reading it. Just a lot of stuff happened since the last blog post but like the main thing that stood out to me was that. I don't understand why they didn't shut the machine off earlier and I think it's pretty dumb on Dr. Haber's part that he didn't do so earlier knowing that it was getting worse. Well a lot of the way I connect my books that I read with the outside world is with imagery. This book almost connects to like a really abstract painting in the way that his dreams are super fluctuant like an abstract painting. The one main similarity that I see from the book is George Orr seems to be like your average schizophrenic. A lot of the stuff is happening to him in his brain. The difference is one becomes reality and the other is all in your head.

This week I just started " The Lathe of Heaven." It's a very interesting book and I'm only on page twenty. The setting so far is in Mr. Orr's house and on the sixty third floor of a therapists building. The main Characters are Mr.Orr and Dr. Haber. They both have weird and very different personalities. Mr. Orr has recently overdosed on his self meds and is seeing a therapist for consultation. Their talking about how his dreams are becoming real and he wants to stop dreaming. This dilemma isn't your average. That's pretty much where I'm at right now.
I've read dystopian novels before but this one is by far my favorite. Other ones are like the typical dystopia and that kind of bores me. This one is way different from the others and I like it. There's something that separates it from the rest. In this blog post I'm supposed to relate stuff in this book to the real world. In this book one of the main characters Mr. Orr is suffering from sleep deprivation and depression. In the real world I want to say 95% of kids in my grade are sleep deprived. Also everyday I see depressed people. Yes this book takes place on earth. I think that this time period is like early 2000's to present day. It has references of characters being born in mid to late 1900's I plan to comment on my partners posts. Elena and Sorel. |
