Dialectic Journals (Because I EpicFail~ )
Dialectic Journal #1"I had always wondered what it felt like to die" - Page 7 This quote is stiking to me because it is how Xeones started out his story. What a way to start out your story, it draws someone in immediatly and makes you wonder why he thought this. Also, I think almost everyone has wondered what it feels like to die. The question itself is one of the few questions that "can never be answered" (though, apparently it can be answered now... ). I myself have asked this question and am very curious as to what it "feels" like to die. This quote just makes me wonder even more. Dialectic Journal #2 "We had a slave on my father's farm when I was a boy, a man named Bruxieus, though I hesitate to use the word "slave," because my father was more in Bruzieus' power than the other way around. We all were, especially my mother." -- Page 14 This quote "strikes" me because a slave holds more power than those he works for. Though, I can relate to it because in my house, my father doesn't live with us because my mother and him seperated. He is a theif and a drug addict and frequently visits San Diego's jail cells. Yet he holds more power over me than my mother of whom I live with. Even though he has a bad choice of habits I respect him more than my mother due to his personality around me versus my mother's. This quote makes me feel a little sad because it reminds me of these things, yet it allows me to hold a better understanding of Xeones' position on Bruxieus. Dialectic Journal #3 "He had always been my favorite uncle; now I hated him with a murderous passion." -Page 19 This quote makes me feel an understanding. He used to look to this uncle as his favorite, now, because of something his uncle did (and didn't do) he dislikes his uncle greatly. I can relate to that. I used to have a relative I loved a lot, but something that relative did made me hate them more than anything. It's amazing how easily someone can make you hate them by just one action. And that that action can be a simple human mistake but in your eyes that action can be worse than death. My feelings over this helped me understand this part of the book.

About me
Konbanwa. My name is Brendon -- and I am a girl, mind you. I'm gluttonous -- I eat a lot... but sadly I've had to cut that down for weight purposes and the sake of my braces (Owwies!). I like some healthy stuff, apples are my favorite. Celery is good too. Specially with peanut butter. I have a really big sweet tooth, specially for chocolate but sadly if I eat too much my throat starts to hurt and I get a bloody nose. If I eat TOO much candy my teeth start hurting too.
