To convince you all that this book is a great choice for a summer read, we made this reenactment of a scene and a description of it. This'll show you why this book is both a fun read and full of rich literary devices for analysis; a great way to start the year.
Not much has to be said about the scene, as it speaks for itself. All that needs to be mentioned is that it is one of the final scenes of the novel, when Rick must temporarily abandon his empathy to kill the androids for the last time. The scene is powerful, since Mercer, the prophet of the most popular religion of the time, admits to being a fraud, and that there is no salvation. More of the symbols are explained throughout the website, so we will not spend much time explaining them here. Enjoy, and take a shot at analyzing this based off what you have learned here!
