As I became more engrossed in the book, I found myself growering more attached to the characters. I almost felt like I had a personal connection with each of them. Ozeki made me feel like a part of the world she created.
For example, when I was first introduced to the Seeds of Resistance, I understood their causes a little. But soon, I started to change my opinion of them.
It seems that too many people let themselves be influenced by the opinions of others. When the Seeds started trying to impose their views on Llloyd, I drew back a little. To me, it seemed like they were almost brainwashing him. They took one extreme belief of Lloyd's and intertwined it with their causes.
It makes me wonder what opinions I really hold. I want to know which opinions are really mine and which ones are simply those imposed on me by others. Sometimes, I find myself repeating the words of someone when I become engaged in an argument. This causes me to wonder if I really believe what I'm saying or if I simply am passing on the information given to me by others.
