Reflection 9
I've really spent a huge part of time of the weekend to get this novel done, even sometimes I just keep turning the pages without reading it till next chapter, and not only have I learnt a big amount of vocabulary from the book but several useful sentence structures to describe scenes.
I nearly finish this book so far, and I feel good to be writting the last reflection of this book.
For the book "oryx and Crake", indeed, it's a good book attracting people by it's words and plots.
In conclusion, it's very funny and impressive to read a canadian novel in this advanced way. A group of students read same novel, interacting each other's feeling about the book, doing group project relating to the book! I wish my groupmates and I can do this funny Canadian novel session again!

I've reached to the chapter 13 by now, and I almost finish this novel.
After killing Crake by Snowman's pistol, he tried to understand why his good firend Crake would have done such a thing that killing the Oryx.
Snowman's feelings of isolation are only exacerbated by the sight of Oryx and Crake's bones in the airlock of the Paradice complex. Then he realizes that he is so deeply saddened by the death of the two important friends in his life that he doesn't even know how to mourn them.
It's so bad that Snowman has to kill his best friend by the anger and sadness becasue Crake murdered his love-- Oryx. I think most of people would be tough to make a choice when they were meeting with such a situation.(common people are hard to meet situation like this though....)

When I've been keeping reading the story, and I 've reached to the point that continued shifting of vioces between the present Snowman(Jimmy) and the past Snowman, which shows a split personality because he've experienced too many traumatic events. And the harder snowman tries to dissociate himself from his memories, the more it haunt him.
Another important plot is that Snowman's memories of his pet--- rakunk, Killer, demonstrate his ability to connect with animals on a more intimate level than regular people do.
