Parable of the Sower is frightening, yet intriguing. Butler’s idea of what our world will become in only a few short years into the future is a world i could never imagine. Lauren, the main character in the story is very interesting. Her disease, hyper-empathy makes it difficult to live in the broken version of our world Butler has created. Yet she does not let it stop her from living her life the way she wants to; as much as she can, for she is only a 15 year old girl.
Earthseed, Lauren’s own version of religion interested me very much. For someone so young to decide that the religion they are expected to believe in is not something she supports and to go on to create her own is amazing. I love how intelligent she is and how in tune she is with herself and what she believes. I guess with no freedom to rome outside of her neighborhood without facing danger, she has much time to analyze the world she lives in and uncover her feelings.
Butler’s version of our future is terrifying, and keeps me reading. I love this book.
