II.xi – II.xii

Why does Joe decide to master time? How does he do it?

Joe decides to master time for a pretty simple reason. In the previous chapters Joe was never really conscious of time and what day it was. This bothered Joe and he wanted to do something about it. Joe is tired of not knowing what is going on around him at times and where he is during the day. Now that Joe seemed more emotionally stable he thought that he was ready to take on a new challenge and start mastering time. Joe tried doing this by counting seconds but that didn't work too well as he would get lost once he got close to the minute marker. Joe didn't lose hope though even though this method didn't quite work for him. Instead he decided to closely follow what the nurses did throughout the day that way he would be able to notice if it was morning time or evening. It ended up that this method worked out for him the best.
