The Star

This story was hard for me to fallow. It sounds like this man is having trouble believing that there is a god that would allow the destruction of such a thriving world. This world sounded very intelligent and they probably could have saved themselves. What if they didn't want to? what if all they wanted was to be remembered so they didn't even try to get away.

The Island of Dr.Moreau

The book starts out with Edward Prendick alone drifting at sea just waiting to die. He is picked up by a passing ship nearly dead. As he is recovering he notices that there are many animals on board and they are headed to an little island. The captain of the boat is always drunk, and he and Prendick get in a fight. When they get to the island the captain will not take Prendick any further and the people going to the island don't want him there. So once again Edward is at drift in the ocean.
