A Cat

In this part of the book we follow Mia around her first weeks of school. She thinks a lot and very accurate, she seems to be failing math, reading The Lord of The Flies in literature. Finally Mia told her parents about the synesthesia problem, and that in her mind everything has colors, sounds and shapes. Mia´s parents react scared and annoyed. Then Mia´s parents contact a doctor to check on Mia.


Quotes:
"K is a turquoise blue, whether I think of it, read it, or hear it. Is just there, inside my head, plain as day. (Mass 59)"
I think it would be confusing to read letters that have individual color, and read sentences that have different colors. I read in an article about synesthesia, is discussed about the memory of the people that have it, the people that have it have better chances of memorizing things.

"His images are all twisted together and overlapping, like when I  hear music with a lot of different instruments. (Mass 64)"
It would be strange to close your eyes when you listen music and see all kinds of colors and shapes floating around.


It might be easier to have synesthesia and experimental how different the world would be, with all those colors and shapes. I would like to know if it is true that people with this rare case are able to memorize thing easier because of the colors that they see? Is synesthesia people´s brain bigger because they have like a second nature of memorizing colors and shapes along with letters and sounds.
