Fourth Reflection


Snowman's memories seems very biased.  He is not an objective storyteller, and many of Snowman's memories are foggy.  This is probably due to the fact that Snowman is alone and isolated to the point of constant hallucination..

Crake's namesake, the red-necked crake

For example, when he introduces Crake into the story, when Crake was still Glenn, Snowman mentions how Glenn had been hiding dark intentions from the start,  "the Crake side of him must have been there from the beginning, thinks Snowman.".  This is not true, as while Crake is different and appears more mature, he does not exhibit dark thoughts or intentions.  Crake was simply very competitive and dedicated, even when playing games such as the Extinctathon.  Even though his thoughts are not portrayed, I believe that Crake had less dark thoughts than Jimmy, who even at the time was behaving strangely due to the influences of his parents.
