Phew~~ Finally done the book on time. I have been reading all day long. The novel, Oryx and Crake's ending is quite strange, with Jimmy heard that there are still three human being camping near him. As he procedes to them, the story ends. It really leaves to us a choice to choose between Jimmy killing the remaining three humans to maintain the peacefulness of the Crakers, or help the humans to reproduce more and more. The reality fades away, as Jimmy was invited by Crake to work for him. Crake created a pill that could change the human gene completely, to remove fear of death, the interest in art and language. He tried to make humans perferct. But then one of the bacteria breaks out and almost killed all of the humans. Crake killed Oryx by his own hand, as Jimmy sliced his throat. Jimmy survived the epidemic and saved several Crakers. He became snowman afterwards. The book ends in a mysterious manner.

I have read a lot this weekend, almost done the book. Crake and Jimmy graduates in to different schools, Crake went to a school where all the genuis study, and Jimmy went to HelthWyzer. Jimmy was able to visit Crake and have a tour of his school. He watched strange creatures like chickens with no eyes. Crake told Jimmy about the tragic of his father, his father was killed becuase he found secrets about HealthWyzer. This probably led to the destruction and diseases Crake made, he wanted to avenge his father by destroying the foul mankind and creating new perfect humans called Crakers.
As the flashback of Jimmy's life blurr, Jimmy comes back to real life. He wondered around the city as he is the only human on earth now. He found food and Utilities for him to use in an urban area. Jimmy is really lonely and isolated by the world, he tries not to forget anything that the modern world had. Not a single word. If Jimmy forgets something it will be gone for ever.

Jimmt finally met Oryx and had a conversation with her. Oryx talked about her childhood. She was born in a small village, and was soon sold by her mother to Uncle En. She went to the city where Uncle En lived and started to sell flowers for living. However, after a few months, Uncle En was found dead, floating in the canal in the city. then Oryx was sold to a "movie man" and started to film porn. Jimmy was furious when Oryx finished her story, Jimmy loves her and did not want her life to be like that. But what he does not understand is that Oryx was from a poor family, where the parents could not raise Oryx at all. They had to sell her to earn money for their son. Girls are not considered as much as a real child, even to this day, most parents in Asia want boys instead of girls. In some small villages, girls do not get to go to school at all. The situation can not be changed completely, it needs time to solve the issue.

I have finished an other couple of  chapters by now, and the novel right now is talking about Crake and Jimmy have been watching videos on internet everyday, this is almost the only thing they do. Then, one day, Crake uses his uncle's account to access websites which he and Jimmy were not supposed to go to. They went on a porn website and started watching videos, untill they finds Oryx. Oryx is an underaged girl who were in the video they watched. Jimmy found her attractive. Jimmy and Crake wanted to meet her in reality. Jimmy also asked Crake questions, but Crake did not answer any of them. Jimmy and Crake started to try to find the girl named Oryx.

I read the book Oryx and Crake to a point where Jimmy and Crake were watching executions of humans on internet, Jimmy asked whether they were real or not, and Crake answered that it is in your head. If we think something is real, it is real. Jimmy and Crake became friends as they watched all sorts of things on internet. They have completely different personalities. Jimmy is good at language skills and Crake is good at scientific skills. They could not do anything else together except watching restricted videos on internet. I think their friendship is not great as they only watched strange videos together, friends means help each other and support the other when he or she needs help. They are not real friends in my mind.

I read the novel to a point which Jimmy met Crake at school, Jimmy didn't have a lot of friends at school, he couldn't do math well enough. Jimmy had lingustic skills instead of scientific skills. On the other hand Crake was gifted at doing math and science. At Jimmy;s time, mathmetic skills have a greater role than linguistic skills. People who can do math well earn more money, and others who can not do it do no earn as much as them do. Those math-gifted people were viewed as successful men and others were not as much. I realize this in our society too, especialy in the Asian community. Asians are well known as the gifted math students, most people in my math class are Chinese or Korean, the parents do not look at English, Socials and other subjects the same way as sciences and maths. This is a big problem, as i think every course has its importance, and should be viewed equally.

Biotechnology, a relatively new science area, is both benefiting and harming the environment of our planet. Bio tech creates some cross genetic creatures such as crops and insects which could greatly benefit our environment in many ways. Bio tech crops can cure some diseases, have more neutrinos, and will be able to grow more crops with each seed.
On the other hand though, bio tech can create much harm as well. Biotechnology possibly will destroy the food chain of the earth and may make certain species disapear. In the book, Crake created many creatures that do not grow naturally such as pigoon, a pig with many human organs. Those creatures will harm the enviornment and destroy nature in no time.
I think biotechnology should not be used often to create new species, it should be used to revive nearly extinct creatures or creatures that already disapeared from earth, dinosaur for example.
