Intro Essay

"The Best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time."
                                                        -Abraham Lincoln-
This quote means that the future comes slowly and you face it one day at a time.I don't agree because the evidence in the book. Henry is one of the main characters and he is unable to stay in the present; yet alone face his future.This is clearly seen on page 10.
"Is their a way to stay put, to embrace the present with every cell? I don't know."
                                                            -Henry-
In this story Henry often visits his past more though out the book, and he never really able to settle in the present long enough to see the future of his tomorrow. His gift is more like a curse for him.
In this I'm going to argue that first you can't face the future without first being in the present. Second If your consistently jumping though time their really isn't really ever a future only more present.Then finally how because of the constant jumping is it really future when his other selves leave things for him, i mean its still technically him.
