  In later chapters, Jimmy graduated from Martha Graham with a degree in Problematics. He trie for weeks to get a good job and was unsuccessful. Fortunately, he was able to get a job at the Martha Graham library for the summer following his graduation. His job was to sort through the librarys' collection and decide which books should be destroyed. He lost his job halfway through the summer because he could not stand the thought of throwing something away.
  All in all, Jimmy's dissatisfaction with his life is heavily reflected in his romantic relationships. In the case of Jimmy's post-college relationship with Amanda, he finds himself attracted to her primarily deo to her troubled background. His desire to save her from her problems could be a reflection of his own inabilty to solve his familial problems. The departure of Jimmy's mum left him wounded a way that did not allow for resolution.

  Well, I've finished a few more chapters by now,and I dig it so much.
   From what I've read so far,Jimmy has a tremendously difficult time processing his father's marriage to Ramona(his father's secretary). Although he likes Ramona a fair deal, the definitive dissolution of his parent's marriage bring back memories that he has yet to deal with. During this tough time, Crake comes to comfort him.
  In the duration of a visit to the Watson-Crick Institude, Jimmy learns of what life in the highly valued world of science is like. Also, everything from the accommodations to the food to the facilities is far superior to those at his school.

  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.

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.

Connection between Biotechnology and economics.

  Indeed, biotechnology can create great deal of benefits for social economics.

  In military, various useful weapons would be invented based on bio-tech, then produce and sell. I'm sure other countries that have lower tech. would offer an acceptable price.

  In agriculture, biotechnology can increase the efficiency of producing and make up more kind of fruits and vegetables, which couldn't be good ways to make much more benefits?

  Especially in medical realm, bio-tech would bring unprecedented improvement of finances. Lets make a easy example: as you know, clone is one of technology under bio-tech, and we're also able to clone organs! That means once people get serious disease on one of organs or lose one part of their body such as arm or lag, doctor can clone a new one totally same as the old one in order to replace the broken one by bio-tech. I think no matter how overstate the price is people are still willing to pay for it, which we can know how horrible the benefits the hospital will get.

  I find myself has already got into this book after keeping reading a few pages of "oryx and crake". 

  Snowman walks along the obsoleting beach and tells story to those new human chirlden who all have same prefect appearance and pyhsical firgure but different color of skin made by "crake". In fact, they are all Crake's next generation. They show great deal of interests to Snowman's everything; they are curious about his background and keep asking question to him.

  I find out that the main character which is Jimmy, the snowman, has a very impressive childhood which he starts to recall when he stands in the "doom".

  his parents didn't treat him with great deal of care than other parents do, and

usually blame little Jimmy of various minor reasons.

  I am going to keep going on this book, and I hope all students of our class have a good time with their books!

 

  

comment1 for "oryx and crake"

  "Oryx and Crake" is a science fiction written by a canadian author named Margaret Atwood, which talks about the story of the only man named Jimmy(snowman) surviving after the worldly overwhelming calamity of pestilence.

  I choose this book simply because it is a science fiction and I believe most male teenagers dig it! 

  currently I have ony read two chapters which were wouderful but included a great deal of vocabuary needed to be looked over by my dictionary, therefore, it took me more time to read this book than others. In spite of this, I still need to overcome the diffculty because I know this is a effective way to improve my English!

  I hope I will learn something form "Oryx and Crake"1
