Reading Journal(:

FINALLY finished Rhinoceros.
I know your probally thinking, come on' Caitlin, it took you THAT long?
And truth be told, it was because I was reading two other books, while I was reading this one,
I guess I just got distracted(;

Mmhm.
Currently listening to: Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't by Brand New

Time for the reading Journal:

"Berenger: I'm frightened of becoming someone else"

This quote stuck to me the most because I think, most of us are scared of becoming someone else. Of not being who we are. I think we are all scared of losing control, and not having things be "normal". And not understanding ourselves... I know out of all things, losing control is one of my biggest fears.

Berenger, is saying this because now in the play is the time when everyone has turn into a rhinoceros expect for him, Dudard and Daisy. And he's afraid of becoming a rhinoceros also. But in the end, Daisy (His love) and Dudard (who loves daisy, and works with Berenger) both turn into rhinoceros, while Berenger is the only one that doesn't. I like how the play ended, but the couple of pages before that sickened me. The whole love scenes between Daisy and Berenger. I mean jeez does every play have to have love in it? Love has nothing to do with rhinoceros, why did it have to be in the play, and it was so random. I really think the play would have been better without the love scene. Without all the love in general. Infact he should have just cut the whole Daisy character out of the story!
