I, ROBOT (LIAR) - Post #5

Passage:
" Herbie spoke quietly. ' Your thoughts are confused, but there is no doubt at all that they concern Dr.Lanning. It is silly to hesitate, for as soon as you compose yourself, I'll know what it is you want to ask." (Pg.100)

Response:
This quote from the fifth chapter of I, ROBOT, and I think this chapter is a starting point for this whole story. Herbie is a nick name for the new robot model RB-34, which could read the human mind just like a normal human. I have wondered will the scientist in the future success created a type of a robot that could understand human word and act like what human can do, and in this chapter author shows that RB-34 is one of the completed robot model that has expert in the human emotion. I predict this new robot model will change the whole world again, but I think that new robot model not going to harm the human because all robots have set up with the three laws.

Analysis:
In this chapter, Isaac Asimov just starts the story by putting in the new robot model which could do what human can, and I think with this point author could show the robots should take over human place, or the world of the robot and human should treat equally. As a reader so far, I think this chapter is an easy chapter that the readers having to think much because author just shows everything with details, this chapter hasn't any confuse problem for the readers, all the readers have to do is to predict what will happen next.
