Chapter 9

Now I know that Rick is somewhat of a theatre geek, I like him more. I want to talk about Luba Luft, but after reading ch. 10 and a little bit of 11, I changed my mind about her. This is my assumption about Miss Luft before reading ahead: not an android, lovely, and humorous. I love her because she is so charismatic (by this I mean enthusiastic, charming, and assertive). She is quick to turn the tables and try to persuade Rick to be tested. Luba Luft caused Rick to be discomposed. I'm almost certain that she is purposely over-analyzing every question that Rick asked to get to the point. Maybe Rick was right about her being an android and not knowing it. This chapter was a quick read for me because it was kind of funny and fast-paced. I suppose that if I was in Luba's situation, I would call the cops as well. His questions were, as she said, "suggestive", in a way. It surprised me when Luba said, "Then, you must be an andriod" after Rick described a characteristic of one. It shocked Rick, too.
I do not like the name, "harness bull" for a cop. Officer Crams is his name, which gives me a headache and makes me think of kipple, which may be ironic-I'm not sure. I think that Crams is an android, but I didn't think he was going to kill Rick because he probably would have done that already, unless he wants to find out something from him first. When Crams says, "That girl's quite a looker.." and goes on to talk about her figure, it grosses me out. Ew. Why would he say that if the whole point of him taking Rick away was to prevent him from making a move on Luba? Can androids be attracted to one another?

to the right of the video on youtube, there is a thing that says "embedded," and under it, there is a code. copy that code, and paste it into your blog. that should work.

yeah. i just finished my post, and i said waay too much about the chapter already.

i think rick has a thing for androids. its very weird. and im sure crams is an android, or at the very least, a bad guy. i think Luft might be human, but im not so sure. im probably gonna read ahead too, because im really excited about this now. yeah...im probably a nerd...but whatever.

Luba Luft is a very interesting character because she is an artist. And as you point out, Rick has an appreciation of her art. Luba Luft is smart in how she turns the tables on Rick. So is he an android? Are there clues that suggest he is? Excellent point about the irony of Crams comment! We know that humans can be attracted to androids, but can androids be attracted to humans or as you say, to each other? Good question!
