Aftermath
After the lectures of Hey Nostradamus!, I learned a lot about myself. Now, I am more aware of whether I am close minded or not because I do not want to become another Reg. Since Dr. Ogden mentioned that a close minded person would felt disturbed and uncomfortable after reading this novel, so, this made me realized that I am a close minded person because I felt the same way that Dr. Ogden had described. However, I have another point of view about this disturbance and discomfort. I think the reason to why I felt this way is because this novel is surprising and unexpected; I cannot imagine how I will react if something like this is going to happen in my life. And maybe this is why I felt uncomfortable and felt pity for the characters in Hey Nostradamus!. I felt relief after finished reading this novel because it made me felt so tensed rather than being relaxed.

I agree with you on the issue of close-mindedness. Though intriguing, I found it hard to get through this novel because of all the reference to religion. I wouldn't consider myself close-minded though, because I couldn't relate to this in any way.
I didn't feel tense when I read this novel but I did feel overwhelmed. Like you said, I can't imagine what I would do if something like that happened to me. Though I also found it hard to connect with in the religious aspect, I still enjoyed reading this novel. It reminded me that once something happens no matter what we do, we can't change it, no matter how we cry, regret, hate, it will never be the same again.
