Alison is such a fascinating human being. I say this mostly because she reminds me so much of myself and I consider myself fascinating. But I suppose that makes me more like Nicholas, doesn't it? I resonate with her internal struggle. She is struggling to find meaning in her life, unhappy with who she is, not quite ready to resign yet giving up is always on her radar. Part of me feels it may be an empty threat, but that's the optimist in me comparing our lives and hoping she's optimistic and keeps going so I, too, will remain positive and keep growing as a person and learning. I'm starting to see similarities everywhere, stories told in literature that I see and sometimes even experience in my daily life. So what does that say about free will and about my ability to make my own decisions? This is the question of the semester, it seems.
