Group meeting

We had our second group meeting this Wednesday and talked about the different excerpts we had picked out from the book. I chose; "It amazes me how little we really knew...maybe everything that happened to me and my family had nothing to do with the slowing. It's possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much."

I don't think anyone in my group understood my explanation why I chose this part and how I 

connected with it. But I will explain as good as I can. 

I chose it because I can relate to things I have heard and indeed thought about myself.

Like Julia asks herself, if her and her family had something to do with the slowing. I truly believe that the human will force itself too move to another planet. They talked about that in the book, trying to build a spaceship that would save the earths memory. 

My thoughts just evolved more and more the longer I thought about it. I went a bit philosophical. 

I said to the group that we all think we are special, but in fact we are only a tiny drop in the ocean. And while we are stuck here on earth killing our only lifeline, there is so much beyond what we can see. We know very little, as julia thought; it amazes me how little we know..."

All in all our meeting went well. We discussed the end of the book and everyone was prepared.
