The incredible reality of a life was tantalizing to Adam, his past deprived from him which now lay decrepit, a forgotten life of triviality. Pockmarked with bruises and scar, he never felt before and terrified of the vacuity and the lack of memories that loomed over him, he was scared. He was diagnosed with amnesia. However this was merely a prelude of his life from now on. He was trapped in an estate with a solicitous therapist who was insistent with his incessant question. However only time will unravel the truth, as memories rushed back the blood caressed his vein once again, Adam would tell of the violent jarring speed thrilled stories to the poignant and emotional stories of his past. …show more content…
I think the sheer initial impact of forgetting his memories, forgetting his identity and forgetting his life was a frightful experience. He woke up unaware of this contemporary world and the turmoil’s today. Yet slowly he remembers. He remembers clues of his past which mostly frighten him. The clue of the dog reminded him of his fear of dogs and how he and his father wondered into the forest for a strange reason and got attacked by a dog. Another example would be the clue of Amy Hertz.

Another example that depicts the idea of not being brave, in Carver the text mentioned specifically how his check was wet despite the fact it was raining. He was crying. He felt that he was alone. He was afraid of continuing without the aid of Amy Hertz. Finally his panic attack was significant in displaying Adams insecurity. The text states how Adam felt isolated and suspended in an unknown land. He felt his name was merely a couple of words and was as functional a Kitchen, stairs or cellar. He felt he didn’t even know who Adam Farmer was anymore. This all demonstrates how Adam’s lack of
