Until now, the story is just starting and I am begining to understand a little bit more the theme of the story. What is happening to the main character, has never occured to me and I dont even what to imagine that moment. What I dont understand at this point of the story is the reaction of the guy when he was informed of his mothers death. Why does he reacts like if it didnt mean anything or like if it didnt matter to him? maybe he has his own reasons but i rellay would like to know them because I think there are no valid reasons that would permit a human being act like this guy is acting after knowing his mom had died.

I felt more identified with many things that occured in this second part. First of all the part were he is in his house watching outside the window the fans and the athletes all over the streets. That similar situaion used to happen to me when a was younger and Colombia played against other teams, the fans used to go out in the streets and shout for the team. As well as the relation he has with his neighbor. I can say I have a similar relationshi with one of my neighbors that has been a very good friend of mine since I live in this apartment. I still keep on thinking on why his reaction towards his mothers death was that one. Maybe it was because he expected it to happen.

When I read this part, many questions came up to my head. I still wonder why he doesnt feel anyhting when thngs happen. I already asked this question but why does his mothers death seems so natural? And also, why when it comes to feelings he is the most dry and less affective of all?For example I dont understand his reaction towards his girlfriend Mary. She loves him but he doesnt show any type of interest on her. he doesnt matter if she wants to mary him or leave him, he feels exactly the same way. Until now I find the book interesting but thi are basically the questions I have asked my self, for the ones I odnt have a concrete answer yet.
