George went to go see lawyer, because he thinks William is invading his privacy. The lawyer however does not think he has a strong chance of winning because no one would take his word over a doctor's. After talking with her George gives up hope and apologizes for taking her time and starts heading out. However the lawyer notices how honest he seems and tries to help him. George tells the lawyer about he is able to alter reality with his dreams, she does not believe him (at all), but they decided she is going to go in to supervise one of his session but as a inspector. When she goes and sees him being hypnotized she saw that George "solved" overpopulation by dreaming of a plague and killing millions of people. She witnesses for her own eyes yet William tries to cover it up and make it seem like nothing ever happened, even though himself also saw that.
This book kind of reminds of the book "Divergent" this is because in Divergent they evaluate fears and they try to overcome them. In this book William makes George dream about his fear and he ends up having a nightmare about it. While in Divergent Four needs to get over his fears. In the book climate change and overpopulation are a big problem and one of the few that are commonly brought up again and again. If we were to compare that to our United States both of those would still be a very big problem. That both worlds have in common. A difference I noticed is that in our United States cars are allowed in the city but in the book George mentions being tired of having to use public transportation because he can't bring a car through downtown. I will comment on Elisabeth's Blog Hyperlink and Leslie's Blog Hyperlink.

Interesting connection, I like how you were able to connect the books public transportation to ours. Do you think that the war happening in their initial world connect to our world?

I like the detail and depth you want into in your post. Do you side with George or William in the controversy of a utopia with past consequences? Do you believe that it is alright to create a reality with a worse past if it paves the way for a brighter future?
