Entry 18, Chapter 9 - Recall the Good, Forget the Bad

     I recently read a book called Heart 2 Heart about a girl who lost her life in a crash crash who  made a decision to be a donor when she turned 16. Later on, the girl who recieved the deceased teenager's heart reached out to the best friend of her donor. During their visits, the bestfriend of the donor became very aware of the idea that she should always cherish the good moments because she never knew when her life would end. The girl who recieved the heart, was on the brink of death, and she made it clear to everyone in her life that everyday she wanted to remember only the good moments because she had experienced so many unhappy memories during her heart failure before the transplant. This book reinforced one of the themes of the book, remember the good and forget the bad.

Entry 16, Chapter 8 - Time Travel

     Traveling through time has been a reoccuring idea all throughout the book. The fact that Billy believes he is time traveling shows that the plane crash he was in really messed up his mind. In the media, time traveling has been something really cool to produce movies, books, etc. about from Disney movies like Minutemen, animated movies like Meet the Robinsons, and of course, in science fiction books like Michael Cricton's Timeline.  All of these were entertaining to watch and or read, but if we were to hear about it in real life, we would simply think of the stories as crazy and incredulous, but in the fictional world, we find these stories creative and imaginable. Billy time travels almost constantly throughout the book, making it quite hard to follow, but eventually the stories start to become familiar and you begin to realize that you are tracing his life, just in a different pattern.
