In the last chapter I read, I see Jimmy initially had not had many friends at school. Unlike at his old school, he stayed on campus for lunch. After he ate, he would frequently visit the library and watch educational CD-ROMS. One of his favorites, Classics in Animal Behaviour Studies, featured an intelligent, rebellious parrot named Alex.
Jimmy’s father spent a greater amount of time at work. His job involved creating new types of skin-related technologies. The end goal was to replace an old skin with a new one. Mostly geared toward aged, wealthy individuals, the new skin would offer a second chance at being young.
oh geez. Get going on those reflections, eh? looking forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteYA...I remember the feeling when I first read these chapters. Jimmy is so lonely when his father is occupied by his work and the only one he can play with is his rakunk named Killer.
