journal on hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
Journal #2
ENG 091 #96426
Going through chapters 1-7 of Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy was impossible. I had to read more. I am not done with the book yet though. I felt like I was reading an anime. I could picture the scene of what I was reading so clearly that it felt like my body was there. I loved the way they represented what happened to Arthur on planet earth in a gross way where the house to be demolished for a pathway was the earth in the galactic space. I loved the idea of having a fancy galaxy with a president who has two heads and three arms. I can’t imagine what it will be to have an alien friend who reveals his identity only a couple hours before the destruction of the planet earth. The book sounded so absurd that it just made it funny, but I felt like the whole idea behind it made some sense because each of the characters seem to portrayed human habits. The way ideas, objects and people were described made was funny but true when I compare to the activities happening around me. I was a little annoyed that Ford seemed to have no feelings about the end of the existence of the earth although he lived there for 06years and had friends, it made me think of when the government workers pretend to want what is good for us and when it’s time to do what they called their job they did it with denial of that statement
. I did not understand the part about the Vogon’s poetry, which galactic rumors said to be unbearable. Then I thought over it and imagined my brother reading some of the poems the asked him to write at school loud to me and how unbearable and boring it was to my ears. Then the statement about the Vogon’s poetry was all justified. Then was the President’s moment. A president whose only duty was to be called president and who had no importance nor duties apart from standing in front of some kind of futuristic robot cameras to do talk and do things which will make the spectators impatient of seeing him leave the stage
