I believe that the other is trying to explain that we rely on time, with every action we are using time up as if we have an infinite amount. I do not think that the author really does any justice to the thoughts of the dog, I believe that the author astray's from how a dog truly is, at the end of this chapter I predict that something bad happens to her, like an injury or something. Clues that I picked up were the way she was talking, her tone felt sorrowful and worried.
Everyone is under the control of time. No matter who you are, even if your the most richest guy in the world, time will control you.
Everyone is fading away with every passing second, your life is an hourglass full with sand when your born, but as you take your first breath time will start to drain away.
Peoples,animals,plants,and everything that has even a moment of life depends on time. Time govern the world, the universe, every species of existence.
The author writes Almondine wonderfully, although I wish we had the chance to hear more of her perspective throughout the novel than we did. I think the author means that time controls everyone. We may all spend our time in different ways, but it the end it controls everything we do in life. It sounds as if Almodine is in pain. Earlier in the novel, Almondine mentioned that arthritis was beginning to make it harder and harder for her to get up. She is getting older, so I wonder if the pain is coming from her old age or if she was hurt somehow.
What I think Almondine means is life is what each individual makes of it. You spend your time doing what you want to do. I think the author spoke Almondine’s thoughts very well. I felt like I could relate some of her feelings to my dogs and they were very personable and realistic. I wish I could have read this book from her point of view only. I think that Almondine is realizing she is getting old and that her arthritis is really kicking in.
I think Almodine means that every second you live and breathe we use up our time - the time that we have to live. I think that the author didn't give justice to Almondine's thoughts because it's not really her thoughts, it's filtered through his point of view. I think that at the end of the chapter Almondine is going to be in a lot of pain. I think that Almondine will be in pain because her arthritis is getting worse and she is becoming very old.
I think Almondine means make the best of every second and don't take time for granted, you only have so much of it. I think that the author portrays Almondine in a spectacular way. With the numerous point's of view, we, as the reader, don't get to hear as much of her thoughts as we'd like, but we get a glimpse. I think that at the end of the chapter, something bad is going to happen or things are going to get worse. Almondine's tone of voice seems to be upset or worried, which is why I think that something might happen.
What Almondine means is that everyone is time, breathing it and living it. Lives are time as they age and grow. There is a past, present, and future for everyone, therefore making everyone time. I think the author had done justice to Almondine's thoughts. The author has shown how much she has grown and the bond she has with Edgar. Even though Almondine is a dog, I believe she has a lot of wisdom. The author does write dogs well, he shows that they are understanding.
Almondine means that our lives are time. Raw time. We experience it in the form of our lives. What do yo make of 11pm at night ~40 minutes before AP posts are due in 2013? I will remember what I felt and everything associated with it. I will not care about the simple data. Time is life.
To expand on the author's depiction of Almondine's conscious, let it be clear that dogs do in fact love, care, and even feel remorse like humans; however, I am almost certain that dogs do not have "advanced" human emotion and profound big-picture thoughts floating between their ears. I do believe that dogs are higher mammals in many aspects, but their thinking capabilities are exaggerated in the Almondine parts.
I think that Almondine means that no time to us is promised, and our days are numbered and for that we should use our time wisely and not waste it.I believe that the author loves to be the boss and always in control of the situation, and I felt that with her age and also she arthritis she was worried, so I think that may be foreshadowing something bad to happen to either her or the dogs.
Almondine's thought that "you are time, you breathe time" is a unique way of expressing how quickly time can pass by. A person is time because they control what they do with their life and how they spend heir time, a person can also be time by making an impact on the world and leaving a lasting impression making their time in the world significant. A person breathes time because time passes by as frequently as people breathe, and before you know it a person runs out of breath, and therefore also runs out of time.
I think that Almondine means by the saying "you are time, you breathe time" is that you control how you use your time given to you in this life. You shouldn't waste your breathe when there are so many things that you could use it for better use. It gives an interesting perspective on life and how it works for some. How do you use your time? Do you breathe music and rhythm? Are you the type who breathes to help heal others surrounding you? Spending your time is as easy as breathing. The main thing is how are you going to use both?
The quote means that we are apart of time. we exist as part of the past, present, and future. Unfortunately, time runs out as we grow and get older. Almondine gets older, and misses Edgar. She knows he is gone. She wants to go and look for him, but is too old to do it. She wanders out into the road as a car comes up the hill. this is where Almondine meets a tragic end. Her time has ran out.
When Almondine says that your are time you breathe time, it means that you are living, and that as you live, you are taking time away as you age. The author does well writing her parts, he makes her seem old and wise and that's what she is. I think at the end something bad is going to happen
