Problem
From Station Eleven: "If Hua said there was an epidemic, then epidemic wasn't a strong enough word. Jeevan was crushed by a sudden certainty that this was it, that this illness Hua described was going to be the divide between a before and an after, a line drawn through his life." To what extent is Jeevan right that there is a distinguishable before and after the epidemic? How does your answer to that question help us understand the novel's representation of survivor-ship (i.e., what it means to survive)?
