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.

I agree that both of the main characters are pretty strange, it only gets weirder as you continue reading. Also, good point about the sleep deprived and depressed. I didn't even think about that when writing my blog post. I'm curious, other than thinking he's really weird, what else do you think about Dr.Haber?
