Chapter 3-4 Reflections

                When David is home after one of his visits to Sophie he accidentally says that it would be easier if he had another hand and his father becomes enraged. David doesn’t know what his father would do to Sophie if he found her but he has a nightmare about his father slaughtering her like he does with deviated cattle. In chapter four we learn that David possesses the gift or being able to communicate telepathically with others who are like him. In this chapter we have our first encounter with people who are severely deviated. The spider man is said to look uncannily similar to David’s father and he causes Mr. Strorm to go pale as if he’d seen a ghost. I think that this may be foreshadowing that these two men have met before and they know each other. I thought it is sweet that David goes to visit Sophie all the time to keep her company and such even though he might be punished if his father discovered this. I think that the people in this book are like the Nazi’s because they blame all their problems on the few people who are different and they try to create the perfect race. I think that it would be frightening to live in that community because if you were discovered to be different somehow then you would be cast out.
