Book Summary[:

The book I read this weekend was called The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. 

Here is the quote I chose from the book. 

" Tossing
I don't sleep.
I hold on to my bed.
The backups must go.
My fingers dig into my sheets.
I want sleep. Forget. Melt into the night. 
But.
What if something goes wrong?
I may need them. It is only information.
Limbo.
Dreamland. 
That's all. 
And if I try hard enough
maybe I can forget the dark place where 
they
we
are. "

This piece from the book brought up many questions. Since this book takes place in the future, I had a hard time grasping everything. But when I finally started understanding it, this page in the book struck me. I was wondering, will she give up her backups up to save her friend's minds, or will she keep them for her own benefit? Will she try to push away the dark place she was when she was in a coma? I wasn't sure what I would have done in her situation, if I would have kept them there because I needed them as evidence, or saved them from what I had gone through. In the end though, I would have saved them because they are my friends and I wouldn't want them to go through what I went through. Even though this quote is a bit complex if you haven't read this book, I think that it tells a lot about the story itself.
