Two Sides Of A Coin Chapter 4
H20 Chapter 4: Bergin’s unique character thought processes
In multiple times through the H2O it has these weird moments when Ruby the main character has two perspectives of life. One tries to see the good still arounder her and still from life before that terrible rain came. The other side accepts all the caus arounder her like dead bodies everywhere and a lot of water, but she can't drink it let alone touch even a drop of it.
“ “I spy,” I started up with myself, “something beginning with R.”
Road --clogged with dead cars and dead people, the me that was frightened said. I refused to say W (Water! It’s poisoned! It’s poisoned!) as I walked across the bridge over the canal. “I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with Z,” I got in quickly, before the me that felt frightened could butt in. It didn’t do much good.
ZOO! Zoo! And what …show more content…
about the poor animals? Hadn’t I been past London Zoo so many times with Dad, me on my own with him, or me and Dan with him, begging to go in? We were always on our way to somewhere else. It was the same this time: I had to keep going.
“I spy something beginning with...F.” FB Flower beds! Your mother loved flowers! Your mother is DEAD. Your dad is---”T!” I said, to shut myself up.
I stuffed my empty box of ice pops into a trash can and started on the next box.
Trash! Trash! Trash!
“Another T!” See how pretty they were, the trees? How the light shone through them?
G! G! Shouted the me that was frightened. G!
There they were: two giraffes snacking on trees. Giraffes in the middle of a London park. Some kind someone, anyone must have set the animals free. “ As you can see there is a great difference of the thought process of “Normal Ruby,” and “Frightened Ruby.” I think the author did this to show that sometimes people see things in more than just way and have more that just than just a one track mind. I also think that is kind of her way of keeping her sanity and not going crazy like some of the other people.
Most of Ruby's emotion and feelings are kept inside and she doesn't like to let them out.
She does this, because every time she tells someone how she feels they end up dying. So now she doesn't show eney emotion except for anger, because that is the only emotion she can show Because, then she won’t care about other people and won't get so attached to everyone she meets. Throughout multiple times she gets mad at Sprattywood, because he calls her Ru, witch only her best friends call her, but all her best friends are dead. Most of the time she just seas in her mind “Don't call me Ru. Do NOT call me Ru.” (308 Bergin) As you can see almost all of her emotions, even anger because even though its anger it still shows a little compassion. And he is the only person she has left in that world of death and destructions. but even though SprattWood is a loser and nobody likes him and Ruby wouldn't be caught dead with SprattWood, and she has been informing him since they first met, a friend is a friend no matter who they are and you cant help but show
compassion..
