2001:Jonesy's student-teacher conference

[visionsof]

Hi y'all,
I'm sitting here with a chapter of "Dreamcatcher"-the one which is called "2001:Jonesy's student-teacher conference". I supposed to make a complete analysis of this chapter, but i must admit that i'm pretty confused: It's the only part of the novel that we've been handled, and reading some of your interpretations only lead meto much more confusion.

Who is this Mr. Gray? My thought were, that he is the narrator in some way?

If not, who is? And why is him/her so mocking? How does he/she knows about jonesy's fate? Is there anything in this chapter that indicate who the narrator is?

What's up with Jonesy, thinking he's psychic?

Oh, i've got so many questions! But at last, and maybe of more importance, do you guys have any idea of an interpretation and analysis of this chapter standing alone(like you didn't knew any of the previous and following chapters?)

Hope you can help me out.

Honestly, I finished the book a few weeks ago and am still just as confused as you are. I never really understood who Mr. Gray was -- or if he even existed at all.

i bet if you googled youd get all sorts of information...and i'm thinking one more ought to do it

Not alone but I haven't finished the book and I will google it to just see cuz I am curious about that part too. My thoughts while I am reading it was he just came out of no where LOL

For those who have finished the book or are basically almost done, Mr Gray is the extra terestrial that is attempting to infect everyone I believe. I've read it twice because it's probably his most confusing book out of any I've read. I love it, but It's just so all over the place that it's making things hard to piece together. A second read definitely is making me feel better about this piece.

I have also read this book twice, but because I love it, not because I feel I didn't understand it. Although it is confusing. IMO, Horror Mama is correct, but I also feel that Mr. Grey was part Jonesy the whole time. If he hadn't had his previous accident he would have been able to overcome Mr. G a lot sooner. I could be wrong thats just how I feel about it.
