steinbeck ended half of the book with timshel.
choice. active choice. not awareness.
not rational recognition of feelings and patterns followed by stagnation founded in the internalized belief that the reality created is the one that has to be experienced until death. choice. choice is the hardest step, but the only one that certainly leads to change.

Samuel is currently carrying everything. im starting to love each character for what and who they are, simply because they are becoming more self-aware (even if they need samuel to beat them🤫😅😂).

Samuel and Lee's conversations are priceless!! Two people the worlds not only doesn't understand, but can't understand.
