The book has again blown my mind! I have never taken drugs before and am not planning too but I guess we are all curious of things we don’t know. What really happens after taking morphine? What are the sensations that one may feel? These were curious questions that I had and as I read the passage about Elijah taking morphine I became very interested. The description is very vivid and exciting. The author writes that Elijah’s head floats away from his body and takes him to other parts of the ship that he is in. I’m not sure if the author is suggesting that it was a hallucination or that it really does happen, it sounds somewhat mystical. Nevertheless it is a very interesting excerpt from the novel.
