MY REACTION TO GEEKS

    ¶ 8:42 PM

  Journal #1
I have just begun reading Geeks by Jon Katz. In the first two chapters the author introduces the reader to Jesse and Eric. Jesse and Eric are two outcasts who society as totally forgotten. They now live in a world of computers. There lives are lived on the net. For the two of them growing up in a small town setting in Caldwell, Idaho has been rather difficult. Nobody in their town is different, no one dares to break away from the mainstream. Then Jesse, Eric, and two of their friends decide to go out on one limb and form the “Geek Club”. The club saves their lives. It gives them a sanctuary where they can be themselves. They credit this to Mr. Brown “whom they both credited having changed their lives” (Katz 23). Brown gave them a place to belong, but he did more then that, he inspired them to use their intellectual gifts. In my life I have never experienced they isolation that Jesse and Eric felt while growing up. In every ones life they at one point experience being isolated, this is how Jesse and Eric felt during their childhood and young adulthood.

Journal #2
Chapters three and four of Geeks by Jon Katz helped me to understand Jesse and Eric a little better. Jesse and Eric are both young and skeptic about the world around them. Growing up in a Mormon dominated community they rejected the ideas of Mormonism. The two constantly start debates amongst their classmates. “And Jesse Dailey was the school’s official Mormon baiter, no insignificant role in these parts” (Katz 29). Jesse and Eric are both rebelling against their surroundings through there own technological revolution. They use the technology they have to fight back against everything they dislike. Toward the end of this section of the book the two Geeks decide that thy will move to Chicago because it is a tough city unlike San Francisco and Seattle. They decide they will be able to find work relatively easily, however the two are strapped for cash and one unforeseen problem will put an end to the journey.
