Eva
By : Peter Dickinson
13-year-old Eva wakes up in a hospital bed, from a coma.
She had been in a car accident, when she woke up the first person she saw
when she opened her eyes was her mother. “She tried the smile, but her lips
wouldn’t move.” (Eva, Dickinson Pg 5) She notices that her eye lids feel
like syrup and she couldn’t open them. Eva didn’t exactly know what was
going on at this point so she went to sleep again. While she sleeps she
experiences strange sensations and dreams. When she awakes she learns that
her life has been saved with a sugary in which her memories have been
implanted into the brain and body of a chimpanzee.
Robbo helps her to move and speak when she first wakes up
out of the coma. She was scared and very confused. He first teaches
her by putting a ball on a string and making her hit it. Eva missed by only a
centimeter and that was very good. A keyboard helps her talk and
express how she’s feeling. He was a very nice man and also was hansom.
He has showed Eva a picture or a younger man who looked just like
him.
Eva was a very strong young lady. She always felt as if her dad only
loved her for her looks. Eva had a very strong bond with her mother. She
worked very hard to gain back what she had lost. She also was very
corporative with Robbo.
A Few months later Eva is set in the future, in a dystopian
urban world. Humans have destroyed most of the world and
are isolated in super high rises and fed a steady stream of television.
Evas father is a researcher of captive habituated chimps which whom
Eva was essentially raised. Evas operation and recovery were
sponsored by a manufacturer of juice products, who contractually
own her and exploit her to advertise their products. “The people at SMI said
that long before the program was over, the Public Response Indicators were
already registering high interest and excitement.” (Eva, Dickinson
