"She said ' Ah i don't care, I want to start living." Her fiance had a lot of money" (186)
Japhys sister is the 'she' in this and i jut thought it was funny becasue Japhy thinks of her so hightly and she is alot like him, free spireited and diffrent. Yet she wants what everyone else ddoes and to her being happpy means having money and things and doing not much. Easy and happy are completely diffrent things and thats what people so often forget. Yes, their is somthing nice to the easy life yet its short it gets boring people end up taking depression meds or relaying or alcohal or drugs or anything really but thats not really 'living' in the way she uses it. Ironicly once she starts living that life she will stop really 'living'.
"I got an overwhelming urge to get drunk and feel good" (189)
This is at the beginging of chapter 27 when I really seriously nocticed his drinking problem. HE dosnt want to go to this buddist convention becasue he'd rather get drunk. Kinda ironic really, he lives this buddist lifesytle in order to escape from a lifestyle whare he needs somthing else to make its all good and yet thats what had ended up hapening to him. He really truely needs it and has started to truely relay on it.
