Reading Response: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Yes, I know we never got to Feed but I have my reasons. My reasons are that at the time we were assigned different blog posts, since the literacy narrative was a big part of class. So unfortunately, we won't be able to talk  about Feed. But don't be too sad! Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? looks very promising for me.

It is based in a society after a world war, which made many animals endangered/extinct and led to most of the humans evacuating Earth. The humans that stayed protected the few remaining animals, but for those who couldn't afford them, companies built animals, and humans. These androids are equipped with the Nexus-6 brain, a advanced system that is basically just as smart as a human. The government of Earth feared these androids and banned them. Those who remained were being "retired" by bounty hunters - one of them, Rick Deckard, our main character.

Now maybe you can see why I think it looks promising. Personally, I find this plot very original. The "prologue" plays a huge role in the story and is slightly realistic. It's not a boring event, nor is it out of this world. It's something that is possible, but unlikely.

Lastly, when I was reading this week, I was distracted. I found it difficult to get through a single chapter of this book, but I did very slowly. It could be caused by my location (upstairs in my cousin's house - not necessarily noisy but occupied), lack of a bookmark (sometimes causes me to reread certain portions of a chapter I had already read), or emotional stress (my great uncle just passed away). 

In conclusion, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? looks very promising and is so far enjoyable. However, I encountered difficulty in the process of reading it.
