I recently begun reading I AM LEGEND, I really like it. I think Robert is extremely smart and knows how to live in a environment like he is in and will survive because he takes care of all of the weaknesses and isn't lazy at all he works hard to survive. I don't really get how the zombies know him though, because they said his name and got inside his head but how would they do that when there infected I wouldn't think they would be able to talk.
                      I think I have been in some situations where I have felt like Robert because he's very lonely and isolated he doesn't have much to do other then work eat and sleep and the same routine can get nerve racking after a while especially when they get inside your head and tourment you then it would be easy to become physco and just completely lose it.

Jonas escapes from the community with Gabriel, not long after search planes coming looking for him. They have heat seeking radars so every time they come he has to hold Garbriel and remember a snowing memory so they can have a cold body that isn't letting off much heat so the radar can't find them.
He developed a routine sleep in the day when planes aren't out searching, and bike at night. He became acustomed to this routine, and the farther he traveled the more colors and animals and life he was seeing it was amazing to him it had him struck how georgous the world was. How much more there was to just sameness.
What if the world was all the same and there was no feeling? I wonder if people would be able to make that kind of transition out of this world and into that world.

Jonas and Giver come up with a plan to escape from the community meanwhile when he leaves the memories will stay and the people will get the memories and be able to have feeling and not live a life of sameness.
      The only thing is the Giver can't leave with Jonas he must stay because if he doesn't the people will suffer from the memories and won't be able to live through it and would most likely apply for release.
I have been in the same situation as Jonas where I had to give up something to get to something greater, me and my friends always played 78 precinct basketball together but when I made the travel team I started playing there and didn't go back to 78 in house because it wasn't much of a challenge but the travel league was and I liked playing in it a lot more. It improved my basketball skills and teamwork skills . Sometimes it is better to move on from something your familiar with, just to increase your social skills and explore new oppurtunities.
