The Thought Box

Everyone gets consumed by their thoughts at times and it can be hard to sort through and understand all that flows through your mind. The thought box is a personal pod with technology capable of understanding and rationalizing ones thoughts. Relaying and explaining the occupants thoughts in simpler and often more realistic terms this invention would help one get through such situations. The pod would also be padded and soundproof allowing one to take out their frustrations without harming themselves or others.

This invention would greatly benefit Oskar. Throughout the book Oskar finds himself under a lot of stress and often copes with situations by giving himself bruises. With the possession of the thought box Oskar would have a much healthier way of coping with his stress rather than hurting himself. The box would also aid Oskar in mourning the loss of his father, helping him understand the loss and comforting him using the knowledge of his thoughts. With its sound proof walls the box would also allow Oskar to say anything he felt without harming others such as when he told his mother he wished it had been her rather than his father who died. I believe this invention would have a major impact throughout Oskar's life helping him understand himself and others better and giving him a safe way to let out his frustrations.
