Dor: Dor starts off on Earth and in a small Spanish village. He is wondering what is going on in the world at the time. Dor used the hourglass to explore the world and the amazing features it has. He got modern clothes and trimmed hair which made him look more from the time he was there in at. Dor is traveling around the world, now, in France, Belgium, and Germany. He soon left Germany and reached Manhattan, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. He then realized that there was no end to a man's ambition.
Sarah: Sarah meets up with Ethan and he brings a bottle of vodka. Sarah gets a little uncomfortable but accepts it. Ethan begins laying a kiss of Sarah, but she walks away. These couple of chapters don't really mention a lot about Sarah. Only that Lorraine knew that Sarah was doing something with a boy and she didn't know what she was doing. Victor: Victor is still with Jed and he explained his plan to Jed. Dialysis was the only that could keep Victor alive. He was trying to convince Jed to help him and he persuading him that his work will be known as successful. Victor is like Sarah and is not mentioned as much in chapters 33-40. Quote: "He wondered if there were no end to man's ambitions." ~This is another quote referring to Dor and this is mentioned at the end of the chapters. This means that there is no end to a man's life and personality. Dor is the man and there is no end to his life since he became immortal.

Sarah: Sarah was calm and collective when she ran into Ethan after the incident. They talked and Sarah asked Ethan about that night and what he had to do. Lorraine was on to something and knew there was a boy involved with Sarah. She had to go to shelter on Saturday and woke up early getting dressed up as if she were going to a party. This is all that is said about Sarah and her conscience and what her thoughts were about this boy Ethan.
Victor: Victor starts off at a cryonics facility where they freeze bodies and meets a guy Jed. Victor continues to study his research and ignores all the pains he has and just studies. Victor never liked losing and by the results of his research, he is near defeat. Victor started to think of another life with Grace and the moments he lost with her. Victor remembered what Jed said about life and how to cure it. Victor had to be patient with his disease but he knew his time on Earth was up. Dor: Dor's story opens up with him in the cave and the clock ticking. Unlike any man before, Dor was able to exist without getting older. He wanted to hold on to the memories he had with his kids by carving shapes in the cave. He made a bunch of circles representing his children and a moon to remind him about Alli. It is now Dor's time to be free because Sarah is in her room, and Victor is in his study. It had been 6,000 years since the old man was in the cave and heaven met Earth. Dor rose in disbelief, since he was returning home. He was moving as if being pulled by strings. He was traveling and realized that after all these years, trying to escape, he could just fly away. When he awoke, he was on Earth. Quote: "The sand blew away. He felt himself hanging from something. He heard distant music and laughter. He was back on Earth." ~This quote is referring to Dor returning to Earth after the old man arrived at the cave when heaven met Earth. The first 3 sentences describe what the journey was like and how he got there. This ends Chapter 32 and the next chapter describes what Dor returns to. Sarah: We find out in chapter 18 that Sarah is really good at science. She would ace every biology exam there is but hate to look in the mirror. There is a description of Sarah stated, hazel eyes, too far apart, the dry, wavy hair, the gap between her teeth, the doughy flesh she had never really shed. She ate lunch by herself, walked home by herself, and spent most evenings in the house with her mother. She also ate dinner by herself with her computer. Her grades ranked third in her class, and she was waiting on an early admissions application to a nearby state university one that Lorraine could afford. We also find out that Sarah's boyfriend's name is Ethan. He then cancels their date because of something he has to do. She felt offended but then shook it off and was fine with it.
Victor: We find out about Victor that he was the 14th richest man in the world. He was an only child, born in France, who came to America and made it big, a true immigrant rags-to-riches story. When Victor was 9, his father was killed in a fight in a sea side tavern. A few days later, his mother jumped from a bridge. In less than a week, Victor was an orphan. He was put on a boat to join an uncle in America. He went to high school in Brooklyn. To make his money, he bought and sold many items which he invested in. He gave his first $100,000 to his uncle who raised him. He acquired car dealerships, real estate, and banks, one in Wisconsin. When he was 41, he met his wife Grace in an elevator. They did many things together like play tennis, visit museums and travel to many exotic places around the world. As we already know, Grace winds up dying and Victor is very sad. He continues looking for treatments but her time was up and eventually Victor was in for death himself. Dor: Dor wants time to stop so he could spend quality time with Alli watching the horizon on the hillside. Dor is constantly being told by his father that Nim is very strong and powerful. Dor and Alli had to find a place for their children with their parents. Nim is the reason why Dor and Alli are living in exile because how he bullied them. Dor later realized that Alli had a disease and he got really angry at himself for not realizing earlier. For had prayed heavily for her but it was too late, Alli was dead. This is why Dor wanted time to stop, so he could save Alli. Alli’s death sealed Dor’s fate of becoming Father Time.
Sarah: Sarah is convinced she is running out of time. She wants it to slow down. She still doesn’t get along with her mother and her mother still doesn’t know she is going on her date. Sarah is now anxious for her date and waits patiently for her clothes to dry. She is finally ready and now has to sprint to the convenience store, where she is meeting her date. Victor: At first, Victor is running out of time but then he wants time to go faster. He is running out of time because he is waiting for the research on his problem. He starts to get a little anxious just like Sarah waiting for the results to come back. He then wants time to go faster so he can get his results back faster. Dor: Dor is special at his age because he is the first to do something incredible. He is the first person on Earth to attempt counting and making numbers. Dor is a gentle, obedient child with a mind deeper than those around him. He is considered very unique to others because he can do things that others can't come close to doing. Throughout chapters 1-7, Dor progresses and is older now in his late 20's or 30's. He then is married to his childhood friend, Alli. From making inferences we learn that Dor is actually Father Time.
Victor: Victor is an old, wealthy man who starts out in the doctor's office. He is very close to dying. His concept of "losing time" is that he will not have that much time left before he dies. He is given a wheel chair that he doesn't want because he knows he will be helpless with it. Sarah: Sarah is a teenager who has a different sense of "running out of time" than everyone else. She thinks that being late for a date is "losing time." Ever since her parents got divorced, she has felt shut out and and her mother bosses her around. They say that it was all of her dad's fault. Quote: "And on this early page of man's story, one different child can change the world. Which is why God is watching him." This quote is referring to Dor and how intelligent and unique he is. He is capable of changing the world, bringing new ideas that can impact one's life. In this quote, it is stated that God is always watching that person. God doesn't want anything bad to happen to Dor because he knows what Dor is capable of. Once we realize that Dor is Father Time, we understand now why he was so smart and one of a kind. |
