"No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream" (Jackson 3).

Response:
I chose the first sentence in which the story was introduced in the book. Before I got my book I researched it to see if it looked like a good book to read and in fact it is. I saw this quote on most of the pages i went to so I said to myself that this quote must be very important to the book as a whole. What this quote is also trying to say is that no one can really live under what is true reality. We dream in order to make life seem as a better place for us, but in fact we're just trying to avoid what is the reality in which we live.
