Chapter 7

This was another short chapter where Eric and Mary don't really do anything. After a day of working, they sit on their front porch and read a book. This is definitely not the way i would want to live life. My idea of entertainment is not sitting outside reading a book. After i get finished with a day's work, i would enjoy watching the news and eating some type of fast food dinner. You would have to pay me to go through this experiment.

Again, it was a pretty boring chapter, and just when i thought things were going to get good...it didn't. When they saw the spark in the kitchen...and then another. I got excited. Finally i thought, an explosion? or maybe a fire for sure? I was thinking it had to be something that would get me more interested in this book. But to my disappointment... it was only a couple of fire flys. Big deal.

I also saw more of the hypocracy of this book. Like i said before, these people pick and choose how traditional they are going to be. ...and then we learn that the Minimites are now using flashlights? Give me a break. What a scam. The last time i checked, batteries were considered modern technology. This book needs a new title. Because they are certainly NOT flipping the switch on technology.

Finally, this whole thing with fast time and slow time? I don't know what they are talking about. I read it twice and it doesn't make sense. All i know is regular time. These crazy people are making things more complicated than they are. Imagine if you told someone you will meet them somewhere at 6o clock. To which they reply, "Is that fast time or slow time?" You would probably be like- WTF? So yea...these people are very....odd.
