Class Discussion 3

            A line that interested me a lot in the section we went over today was, “to be too conscious is an illness,” (page 3).  The narrator thinks that since he is too conscious of everything that he does, it is the same thing as having an illness.  This is because his consciousness controls his life.  It makes him overthink everything to the point that he cannot pursue an action. 

            I also found the discussion on how you want to ruin your friend’s fun when you are not having fun interesting.  It is true that sometimes I do not want to go out to dinner with my parents because I would rather not miss out on what my friends are doing.  For example, when I am out of town and my friends are all hanging out I get jealous and do not want them to have that much fun.  I am not like this because I want to ruin the fun, I just don’t want to miss out on a great night that they will be talking about forever.
