A Memorable Passage...
"Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living" -Johnathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
This passage caught my attention because the meaning I see behind it is such a true thing I usually do not think about. In my mind this stands out because there are so many things I could be doing but I sometimes become stuck in a rut and live the same monotonous life everyday. It almost feels as though there are so many things I could be doing at any given moment but never get to do them. This is why the passage is memorable to me, it reminds me that there are so many endless possibilities inside me if I just go out and live them.
I love this because I can really relate. I have a great vision of what my life could be like, but instead I wake up, go to school, go to work, and the same thing happens every single day.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this book. And the movie too, even though it was different from the text.
