Predictions on Oryx and Crake

Before I opened the book or looked on the back of Oryk and Crake, I truthfully knew nothing about this book before I choose this book during one of our classes. From reading the back of the book, I read how it was a love story and between two best friends. I was drawn into this book because I am a huge sucker for love and fairy-tales. I personally have never read a book written by Margaret Atwood, but I have heard nothing but positive information about her as an author. I had a few predictions before I sat down and read the first two chapters of the book. From reading the back of the book, i assumed that Snowman, known as Jimmy fell in love with Crake who is his best friend. My prediction on their relationship was forged from a strong friendship before their true feelings came to the surface. I predict that their relationship grew from a terrible living situation and they only have one another that can rely and trust one another, but unfortunately he lost her and he becomes different man. I also predicted that this has to be based on the corruption of their government in the book that put them on an island for unjustified reasons. After reading the first two chapters, I discovered that there are children on the island as well, known as the green- eyed children that roam the land, enter the ocean and have no such sort of protection from the harsh sun. They are simply living their lives taking in step by step and approach Jimmy when they have questions that they think he can answer. In the beginning of chapter 2, Jimmy described his life before the island but the beginning of huge corporations changing his parents environment at work, whether it was women that were made to strip and searched too new rules being placed for workers to follow at OrganInc. By just reading the first two chapters, I know this book will be based on Jimmy's life, how he got to the place he is now, and a little about his family. I am interested in learning the kind of man Jimmy had to turn into with all negative factors in his life.
