Character Analysis: The Adoration Of Jenna Fox
Would you save someone who is very close to you even if it is illegal? In The Adoration of Jenna Fox, by Mary E. Pearson, Jenna gets into a horrific accident. In an accident so severe as this one, most people would have been killed or crippled for the rest of their lives. Jenna’s parents, Matthew and Clair Fox, take the choice to save her. They basically remade Jenna into a new one. This was dangerous and illegal but they thought it was the right decision. I also very strongly think that saving Jenna was the best decision for Jenna’s parents to make. Jenna Fox was in a coma while her parents were reconstructing her into almost a whole new Jenna. It was an illegal procedure but if it weren’t done, Jenna would most likely have died. Any parents …show more content…
They only gave made Jenna 10% of her real self but this is better than nothing. She could have died from the accident and her parents decided to save her illegally instead of her dying. This was the best decision for Matthew and Clair Fox to make for their daughter. After the surgery Jenna didn’t have much of her memory at all.
People think that this is bad because Jenna lost nearly all of her memory. I think it was good because it gave Jenna the opportunity to find out who she actually was. It also allowed her to realize she no longer wants to only please others. This was also a very big advancement for science in the future. Without Jenna’s parents trying this and successfully completing it this may not have ever been done. They basically recreated a human using biogel. This has never been done before until Jenna. They took part of her brain and stored it in a hard drive. They then took it
Calzone 3 and put it as a microchip and inserted it into her head. This could lead to many possibilities in the future of science. They can almost program humans to do whatever they want. It could possibly lead to the perfect super race, or the dominant destructive super race of humans, depending on whose hands it gets

    I, Mattie Curtis, have already done the “unacceptable”. By hitting Rufus atop the head in order to yield his disgusting hands from touching me, I have disobeyed my master. This is not accepted in any form during this day and age. I am a Negro and Master Hawkins is obviously a white male, making him superior to me. I have set myself up for no good, having made such a rash and stupid decision. It is simply that the thought of Rufus and I together makes me utterly sick. I could never imagine being acquaintances with him, much less having a child with him! The good Lord wouldn’t want me to lose something as precious as my virginity to a man whom I am not married to. The Lord, my body, and my family are the only things I still have to myself in…

    This technique kept me interested in Jenna, as the relationships she has with others helps to expose who Jenna was before and is now after the accident. By the relationship between Lily (Jenna’s grandmother) and Jenna, we discover that Jenna thought that she had to be perfect, depicted when Lily said to Jenna, “Your parents never thought you were perfect. You did.” This reveals more about Jenna to us, as we now know that Jenna is afraid of not pleasing her parents. Furthermore, Jenna’s friendly relationship with Mr Bender also provides detail on who Jenna is and previously was. Evidence of this is shown when Mr Bender becomes the first source of information on what happened to Jenna regarding the accident. He researches Jenna and tells her what happened to her. We are shown this when Mr Bender said to Jenna “I read that you were injured in an accident. They didn’t expect you to survive.” This relationship is a source of information for the reader and Jenna as to why she was in a coma for a year, which helps her to mature as the new Jenna. I found the technique of using character relationships helped to reveal different details about…

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    The main character, Jenny has the motivation to seek for a more desirable and meaningful life where she feels as if she is making an impact on her surroundings. This is seen in Neil as well but in a more literal sense due to how the snow storm has made any outside contact impossible. For instance, when the TV is still not working he states, “The electricity’s on. You’d think with a satellite dish we’d pick up something (2018). He also explains to Jenny how he does not enjoy being remote from the rest of the world and tells her, “Thanks for that. I’m still not used to it. Being so remote. Nature’s always scared the living crap out of me. Now I’m living in it. Or visiting it on weekends, anyway. You know I saw a bat flapping around out there? I didn’t…

    Having a large number of options to choose from does not in fact make people very happy. Just because certain people are more better off than others and because of this have more things available to them, doesn’t make them enjoy life anymore than any other person. This can be seen in the movies such as Tuesdays with Morrie, in literature, and in the world of sports.…
