Moods.

In 79, what i observe from the book is that people have different views on different scenarios when it comes to living life in the future. For example, one would already know how they're life would be due to what they see in the books and "hat is written" for them versus one that believes they must go through life and expect the unexpected. When he mentioned Adidas and Crocs, Hoffman tries to tell us that throughout life, we would have never thought of these brand names and that it had come through fate(his belief in my opinion) and other who think that it just came about simply because life goes on and people just come up with ideas on the way. In 80, he refers to written names and uses Jorge as an example. I would think that 79 and 80 are connected because the fact that he uses the name Jorge. We can all agree that many people on this earth has that name, but we leave with the question of how it came about. It was written and silent as said by Hoffman and it is an ancient name as well due to the fact that it is "very very old".

With the connection with 78 & 79, we are put in a specific scenario that when Hoffman was reading the newspaper, he saw that a man broke a glass at a wedding and was sent to the hospital and furthermore, he hired a lawyer to sue the owners of the banquet. He furthermore put in a scenario that if in this case Jesus was to be come back from heaven and hire a lawyer, history would have changed drastically. The transition from that to 79 is that many people can change their history depending on what they do on a regular basis. For example, you could be named Jorge that provides for their family and takes care of their kid, have a good job that may impact the world and, therefore, would change history. Then, you could have another individual with the same name being Jorge who became a political leader. it kind of opened my mind a bit and had me thinking about the Holocaust. Let us say that Jorge was a political leader and did negative thing that may impact the future, then history would change as well. That little experience that Yoel had went through at an early age, changed his life forever. It makes me think that if that historical event had not happened, this book would not have been made.
