soo I wasn't initially planning to use a book from outside of class, but I had the lack of self-awareness prompt and couldnt think of anything else and panicked :(

I talked abt his memory loss and how his lack of a sense of self and a lack of knowledge for his motives on being on the mission(at least in the beginning) both negatively affected and protected his mental state(seeing his dead teammates)

also i connected the memory loss to the theme of sacrifice which is found throughout the book(stratt managing the project knowing she might be arrested afterward, rocky continuing his mission thinking that he might die of the radiation if he stays in space), and how memory loss is a metaphor for sacrifice, i.e. literally forgetting yourself to serve a greater purpose for others.

would I get any points at all for this?? I feel like I'll get a zero just because the book is scifi and not rlly advanced
