more "Dew Breaker"...

There are sooooo many different characters in the " Dew Breaker." Each separate story has it's own list. Each story has a character that is affected by the dew breaker in some way. Each fragment of the novel is told through the story of the a different characters. In the end they are all connected. There are also endless themes throughout this book. Here are some that i can think of; immigration, culture, family, love, confusion, evil, remorse, regret,hate, violence,the past, family, secrets, and forgiveness. Basically everything that happens can be put into a theme so it's hard to pick them out.
The section i was assigned today was "Water Child." I understood the section far better after analyzing it than after just reading it. Having to list the characters in order of importance also made me look at it a different way. Each section of this book has so much more in it that whats on the surface. I think i will have a far better understanding of how they all connect when i can read what the other groups did today. It will also be easier to understand the novel as a whole.
