Response to Lev- Julia

This is a good point. Lev's entire life he never had to think past halfway through his eighth grade year. He never had to think about high school, or what careers interested him, or what his future was going to be like. I'm sure that it was quite a shock to his brain when he realized that since he was not going to be unwound, he was going to have to start thinking about all of that. It's really sad that Lev had no future to look forward to. His life was already set in stone, ending with him being unwound. I feel like if I was in his situation I would be a very lazy, depressed person. What is the point of getting good grades if you aren't going to make it to high school? What is the point of doing extracurricular activities if it is all going to end halfway through eighth grade? I have to wonder whether Lev ever had these thoughts run through his mind. His tithing was something that he had been preparing for his entire life, so maybe he was so focused on that, he wasn't even thinking about the same things that first came to my mind.
