From the very beginning of the book, the main character/protagonist, Jake meets a young prostitute named Georgette and they have drinks together. She states that, “Everybody’s sick. I’m sick too”.

Even though World War I wasn’t “the war to end all wars,” it still caused many of its participants lasting emotional and physical pain that would follow them throughout almost every aspect of life. Those who fought in the war were known as the “lost generation”, and struggled to find a purpose in life as their hopes and aspirations had been swept away during the fighting.

In many books, the characters with the most unfavorable backgrounds surface their pains and deal with the emotional burdens in detrimental ways.

Throughout his movie, Moon Duncan Jones features GERTY, a robot-computer who is programmed to look after Sam and make sure that he survives for three years. However, GERTY does not only function as a computer that helps Sam, he also portrays human characteristics.

While taking the personal finance course this past spring, I learned many valuable lessons that will greatly assist me throughout my life. One lesson I learned is the importance of paying yourself first.
