Pages 78,79 and 80 (Moods)

In page 79  from the novel "Moods", Hoffman talks about Israel. He talks about people named Jorge which is  a popular name around that area. He talks about how all of these names are connected to one another and how quickly they adapt to change. I think that Hoffman is trying to tell his readers that many people are alike and even if one Jorge is different then he will adapt to the changes in his life. He talks about change and sees how open we are to it as humans. Our lives are not predictable and when change happens we either go with the flow or we don't. Life is a tricky thing because we don't know what discussions will end up right or wrong. In page 80, Hoffman talks about death. He states "death will surely come". My interpretation of  when Hoffman talks about heaven and stardust he is referring to how people think they die. Some people think that they will go to heaven or just be dead and float away like stardust. Hoffman wants us to feel comfortable will death because we will all go through it one day in our lives. I think that Hoffman has many connections to different religions but a close one to the Bible. In page 78, we see that a man in the newspaper broken a glass on his wedding day because it is a Jewish tradition. He then sues the banquet company because the glass went inside of his foot. We see how Hoffman ties this into Jesus because he says "image for a moment the crucified one coming down from the cross and hiring a lawyer". I think he mentions Jesus because people would not risk their lives for others or when situations  happen be the upper hand. When situations happen in our lives we sometimes like to blame others but really it was our fault. Jesus took the risk of risking his life for others, and it is hard to be like Him. Page 78 comes before 79 because Hoffman wants his readers to connect them. We see how many people named Jorge are alike in the world but I think Jorge was just a name disguised to show us how we act.
