 * "//Dreams about circumcision were no good. They portended death. He dismissed the dream with a laugh//." (P.135, L.26-27)**

I think the quote is a very good one because it shows descriptive how John is supressing his problems instead of find a solution. Actually, John knows exactly the foreshadowing meaning of his dream. Also his girlfriend is circumcised and when he already said these dreams portend death, then he should be a little more worried. I think the dream was the last try of his inner to show him the critical situation quite plainly. But because he is pushing it to the back of his mind, he cant stop what is going to happen. (Julian)
