The social laws are very strict in this novel, worse than To Kill a Mocking Bird. We can really realize how good God is for not looking at us in hatred if we have some weird quirk. The author has already plainly set out their book in these two chapters. It explains everything quite thoroughly. This could all be a prediction on how the world might end up like with the threat of a nuclear war, but hopefully the twisting of the bible never happens. This seems like a good book and I can't wait to see more.
Chapters 3-4
At the beginning i thought that David's dad was nice guy. I have never been so wrong. He is a cruel man who freaks out at the slightest difference between normal and quirky. He has a heart of MURDER to abnormal beings. The dream of Sophie being killed was gruesome but could possibly be a prediction. I think that David's dad might eventually try to kill David as well. later on he flips out over these huge horses but doesn't see the benefit of them. I think we will see david's dad more later as the book goes on.

I like that you quickly realized the religious importance that the book is communicating. I would recommend making some predictions and think of how this situation would be handled if you were in charge.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that you are interested in the book! I agree with your statement that it "is wrong to twist a bible verse". I would argue that this happens in present day society too... It can be a dangerous thing to take a verse out of context without understanding the background. Sometimes people will interpret a verse in a particular way that is different from the norm. I think it is so important to always think critically (something the people in David's community don't seem to be doing). Great insight!
ReplyDeleteI like your predictions Laura! I had the same ones. and your thoughts on Joseph were the same as mine. Your logic and understanding is very good. your reflection was very well written, good work Laura!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought that your predictions were great and I agree with a lot of them! It seems like David's dad tries to follow the law but doesn't realize how evil and wrong his actions are in the meantime. I wonder what will happen to Sophie in the next few chapters. Great work and really good reflections!
