chapter 9

I'm going to be in mammoth next week so I'm doing chapter 9 now.

The beginning description of the eye and all the parts in it reminded me of seventh grade science. I remember dissecting the sheep's eye and how pretty the retina was or maybe it was the iris. I just remember how colorful it was, gray but had a rainbow sheen to it. I got kind of lost in this chapter. The part on tissue confused me because I couldn't really understand what he was trying to connect us too. The section of genes freaked me out a bit. I didn't know someone could be born without their eyes. To be blind is one think but to not have eyes all together is terrifying. It's even more terrifying however to picture a creature with multiple eyes. To have an eye just pop up wherever you want is just disturbing, like something you'd see in a horror movie
