I thought it was interesting how you described D-503's personality by using his mathematical terms quotes. It does seem like he has the characteristics portrayed by the sort of graph he puts in the readers head. I also like how you portrayed the mood as relating to the setting of the book. The idea of simply excluding cheerful words and not using serious words makes me wonder why he would do this. It seems like if he wanted to show a certain mood, then he would simply match the words to that of the mood he wants to show.

I thought it was interesting how you mentioned what the term "going off on a tangent" meant. It does seem like D does this a lot throughout the book, mainly because it is a compilation of journals which he wrote. People in journals can tend to go off to different places rather than the main topic of why they chose to write in the first place. I also liked how you showed that by using the term "We" he implies that his writings are all the thoughts of the people in the society, and their beliefs as a whole.
