The Seems 28

1. Did the author "get you" in this chapter? At what point did you realize the encounter with Becker's family was part of the nightmare?

  1. Yes the author did get me because I thought that Becker really had failed. I relized that it was a nightmare when the world began to fall apart. This would indicate a dream because in a book the main character can't fail because then there wouldn't be a story.

  2. the part when i relized that the ripple effect was a nightmare was when the me-2 accused becker of starting the ripple effect because a me-2 is only supposed to take your place for a few hours not a few millinniums

  3. The author really did get me! Just like you Aaron I was thinking that Becker really failed. I was so mad that the author had to ruin the story like that!!!! I was fooled! In the back of my head I knew that the story couldn't really end like that so I was only partly fooled.

  4. He really got me. I thought that the world was falling apart! Since the book was science fiction anything is possible. But I did think that he would sew the world back together or something like that. In other words, I got punked (tricked).

  5. Ben,
    But the Me-2 is suppose to act like you and Becker would do the same.

  6. if you were suposed to act like somebody you liked as a friend and they caused the end of the world, would you try to make them feel ashamed?

  7. The author got me too. I was sort of thinking that the sequel was how he was going to fix all of it because I knew it was s series. I was wrong. I also started to think about other possibilities when the world started to fall apart. I also found myself going back to the importance of sleep. That "seemed" (get it?) to occur frequently.
