IRJE #2 Nexie

This book Nexie, is written by Scott Cawthon, he is one of my favorite writers because the end of his books usually end in gore and violence, and as you may know I love that type of stuff.

“The girl was there at the bottom, but suddenly her gray skin was pale again, like porcelain. There were no more green veins on her skin or black teeth in her mouth. Her black hair looked thick and healthy under the water as it floated around her. She was actually pretty, Kara realized. She reminded her of Peggy” (pg. 134)

What happened is she is in a VR waterpark and she was being taunted by this girl (the girl in the water). When the girl changed her appearance, it reminded Kara of her dead sister Peggy. This made me confused because if I saw a replica of my dead sister in a VR game, I would be sad or scared but she was thinking of how beautiful she was and it seemed like she loved it. I loved this quote though because it was like the VR world knew about her dead sister and tried to give her a safe place, but in reality that place is the thing that killed her at the end.
