While reading this book, I got most involved when the author would talk about “Alex” and all the many emotions he felt while living his new life driven on impulse.

The first conflict John faces is the loss of his mother. Tabby’s death both angers and upsets John. In any case, losing your mother is a horrible. It was especially unfortunate for John because he has no idea who his true father is. He is irritated that she never even got around to telling him who his real father is. It even makes him more resentful when he finds out she lived sort of a second life as “The Lady in Red”. The most tragic of John’s experiences is the sacrificial death of Owen Meany. John is absolutely traumatized by the death of Owen. Owen’s death is the reason John lives in Canada, hates America, and is stuck in the past.

The trauma John has gone through has even damaged him sexualy. He is still a virgin and has never felt sexual desire. Katherine’s husband describes him as a “non-practicing homosexual” but he believes that his problems are caused by his

People say that when a story unfolds chronologically, then it is boring. It becomes predictable, which makes it boring. Form my personal experience, I do not like books or movies that are straight forward. Twist and turns are what grabs my interest, and I am sure that is true for some other people. So, any story that has a series of unexpected things occurring, you will find me read it. In the novel, “In the Lake of the Woods,” Tim O’Brien provides a series of these twists and turns. The story is about a Vietnam Veteran, John Wade, whose wife Kathy Wade is missing. John suffers from PTSD and has many unusual behaviors which makes us suspicious of him. O’Brien implies many possibilities that could have

Eventually, her life now begins to have a meaning and purpose. Most of her attention through the rest of the day and particularly at nights is focused on the discovery of the scene behind of the yellow wallpaper in the corner of her room. Occasionally, she saw one or more women creeping along not only at night in the yellow wallpaper, but also during the day around the house. At the last night before the trip, a large amount of that yellow paper was ripped when she was trying to help her to get out of that pattern. She finds a connection between she at the women in the paper. John's sister tries to take her out of the room, but in a refusal to leave the room, she locked herself in the room and thrower the key under a plantain leaf. John arrives

heard my shouting and looked up. But it was too late. A wave like a huge snake with its head held high, poised to strike, was racing towards the shore. I had never seen anything like it in my life. It had to be as tall as a three-storey building. Soundlessly (in my memory, at least, the image is soundless), it rose up behind K. to block out the sky. K. looked at me for a few seconds, uncomprehending. Then, as if sensing something, he turned towards the wave. He tried to run, but now there was no time to run. In the next instant, the wave had swallowed him.” (Paragraph 31, ‘The Seventh Man’). The guilt consumed the Seventh Man as fast as the wave had consumed his best friend, K. The events of this disaster ate away at the Seventh Man until nothing was left. He blamed himself for not saving K. The Seventh Man had to leave his childhood town to escape the nightmares, but even then they stayed with him. “I couldn’t go on living in sight of the beach where K. had been swept away, and my nightmares wouldn’t stop. If I didn’t get out of there, I’d go crazy. My parents understood and made arrangements for me to live elsewhere.” (Paragraph 45, ‘The Seventh Man’). This survivor guilt stayed with this man for many decades. It ruined his life, he couldn’t go near any bodies of water, he never settled down with anyone despite loving many women. “This is probably why I never married. I didn’t want to wake someone sleeping next to

Although the twins were silent, their minds weren’t interlocked. They were working hard, preparing for the arrival of one of the Caregivers. 164XY was focused on the book they’d left for him.
