In these chapters David is beat for not
telling his father about Sophie and another boy, Alan, discovers that Sophie is
a deviation. David’s father whips him for breaking the law and David eventually
is forced to tell him everything. I think that David could have kept the secret
longer if he were older at the time because he would be closer to Sophie and he
would know how important her not being found was. I feel bad for David when his
father whips him because even his family isn’t supporting his decisions and
sometimes family is all you have left. I think that David was foolish to allow
Sophie to go barefoot in public and if he hadn’t encouraged her in this the
entire situation could have been averted. I think that this will play in
important role later in the book and I am looking forward to finding out if
they meet each other again.
Good Response and good job easily summarizing the major points of the chapter. \
ReplyDeleteBtw, I like your hat.
Well done, that is a good summary of David and Sophie. I would be interested in knowing what you think of David and Uncle Axel's conversation. Did you like the "geography lesson"? :)
ReplyDeleteIn response to your request to hear my opinion; I found it quite interesting. I thought that it gave me a better understanding of how little these people really know and it shows how people will draw conclusions to make themselves feel safer. I also found it quite amusing that they thought monkeys to be severely deviated humans.
DeleteGood job! I agree that David could have kept Sophie's secret longer and keep them from being captured.
ReplyDeleteGood job Meg, very well written. I like your predictions they are very logical and i think they could possibly happen later on.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are able to sympathize with David - it would be interesting to see how things could have been different had he been a bit older and more mature.
