Hector Goes Into a Sponge State and Has a Satori.

I read a chapter 2 of Criss Cross. I surprised amount of chapter 2. Although chapters 3 and 4 have just 5 pages and 6 pages, chapter 2 has 22 pages. And I was surprised again by the title of chapter 2. The chapter 2’s title is “Hector Goes Into a Sponge State and Has a Satori.” Can you understand why I was surprised? Because this title uses “Satori.” It is Japanese word is meaning Buddhist enlightenment. In the chapter 2, new two characters appear. They are older brother and younger sister, older brother is Hector and younger sister is Rowanne. The first half is written their characteristics and Hector’s behavior. His characteristic is easy to be in Philosophy. When he worries to philosophy, Rowanne suggests going out together. This action relates to the core of this chapter.

They got to Party that Rowanne’s friends have. For while a party, there is not any problem among them. But, Hector does not stop thinking. I have lots of things that I could not understand in his thought and author’s technique of representation. This is the most difficult author’s it” It was colder this way, but he felt it made him look order. Colder but order. Older but colder. Colder and colder, older and older” it appeared during author introduces himself.
Can you explain it easily to me?
