This passage is from the book Delirium. “It has been sixty-four years
since the president and the Consortium indentified love as a disease, and
forty-three since the scientist perfected a cure. Everyone else in my family
has had the procedure already. My older sister, Rachel, has been disease free
for nine years now. She’s been safe from love for so long, she says she can’t
even remember its symptoms. I’m scheduled to have my procedure in exactly ninety-five
days, on September 3. My birthday.”
This passage means a lot to
me. I don’t believe in the passage that they say love is a disease. I believe
love is a beautiful thing. Without love what feeling will you have for your
family members, spouses, and children in the future. I think love is a very
important part of our society and I am interested in this book/passage because
I want to know what the world would be like if love really was a disease and
you were able to cure it. Maybe this book will change my mind, but I doubt it.
I read this book over the summer and thought it was an interesting concept. Have you read Matched? It kind of reminded me of that.
