On page 81 - 82, I found this scene interesting and confusing at the same time.
1) What does he meant of "Am i really sleeping?"
2) What is he going to say of today? Is it about his life in the past or the good things that happen to him?
3) Why are they waiting for Godot?
4) What does he mean when he says, "What truth will there be?"
5) Why is it that Gogo despite telling Didi the blows he received stops as if nothing happen when Didi gave him a carrot?
6) Why is he talking about the grave and at the same time the birth?
7) What does he mean of "The air is full of cries?"
8) Why is Estragon always sleeping?
9) Is it the same boy that they saw yesterday?
10) Why did he call Vladimir Mister Albert? Is there somebody waiting for Godot too?
11) Is there any possibility that the boy came to a different person before?
12) Why is a habit a deadener? What is a deadener?
13) Why does he say that someone is looking at him? And that he is sleeping and let him sleep?
14) Is the boy looks the same as the first boy in act 1?
15) Why does he wants to know what Godot look like and what he does?

Waiting for Godot
1) The boy on the play is not a usual playful boy. He works
for Godot which is unusual for a boy to work
in at a young age. He was so frightened upon seeing Gogo and Didi but
didn’t hesitate to relay the message of Godot.
2) As to what he told the Gogo and Didi, he tends the goat.
He sleeps in the hayloft of the barn.
3) The boy was so frightened by the two but delivered the
message to them clearly that Godot will meet them tomorrow. And he was not
hesitant to tell them abut how Godot beat his brother who was herding the
sheeps.
4) The boy didn’t change in either act 1 or act 2 but
according to the boy, he was not the same boy that came to meet them on act 1.
He told them that it was the first time that they meet the two.
5) He seems like just following what was being told. But he
is honest enough to tell them about the beating of Godot to his brother. He
convinced the two that Godot will meet them again.

Ancient Sunlight
History repeats itself. People tend to forget what happened
to the world hundreds of thousands years ago. Maybe if we were just aware of
what happened in the past, it would be great if it will only be a lesson
learned. But the way we are today, it seems like we are doing more than what
they did. The worst part is, it is already affecting the future generations. According
to nationageographic.com, people overuse our natural resources. With the world
being over populated, we are misusing earth’s treasure. We overuse our land,
water, forest, and air. The third world countries are usually the overpopulated
nation. Since they do not have the means for modern technology, don’t have the
proper knowledge about what will happen if they multiply so fast, they are not
aware of the future. All they know is how to live in the present. But then,
they shouldn’t be to blame. An article on overpopulation.org website states that human
are already facing self-destruction. We are the modern dinosaur. We keep on buying cars, jets, large homes,
which need fossil fuels. Then we make more babies and the tendency was to
consume more food. We should be aware of what is happening in the world right
now. We keep on blaming others but we should look at ourselves first before we
start pointing fingers to those who we think are the culprit of this modern
world.

The topics that interest me the most are:
"Even in the face of this and other evidence of the potential dangers and present calamities produced by our explosive growth, those shouted down as Luddites or environmental extremists or are dismissed as being ignorant of basic economics... or as being "anti-growth" as if what we need is more growth." (p.32)
"Our minds and our cultures created our situation. There's great insight in understanding this, the power in realizing how much of a role we can play in redefining the future of the planet for ourselves and our children." (p.117)
"We live in a culture that includes the principle that if somebody else has something we need, and they won't give it to us, and we have the means to kill them to get it, it's not unreasonable to go get it, using whatever force we need to. In some cases, it's even our duty to do so." (p.124)
