Chapters 15-17

Chapter 15 starts off with David being dragged by Sophie, his freaky friend. It turns out that Sophie is in love with Gordon, David's freaky uncle. Sophie agrees to help David rescue Sophie and Rosalind so that Gordon will still love her. Meanwhile Michael tells David the team sent out to kill them is being slowed down by attacks from the Fringes people. Sophie sneaks into Gordon's tent and rescues the girls. David and his merry band of telepaths keep traveling and receive news that The Waknuk attack is in full force and that the Sealand girl will arrive in seven and a half hours. Then the Fringes and Waknuk people fight, and its pretty cray cray. Gordon shoots and kills Joseph Strorm. Gordon then gets killed along with Sophie. Suddenly an airship or something with really bad, sticky dandruff comes along and paralyses everyone. In chapter 17 they are all freed from the terrible dandruff and find themselves in Seaworld. Michael goes back to Waknuk to retrieve Rachel and the rest of them all live happily ever after in a land where everyone is crazy and can talk with their minds.

Chapters 13-14

Chapter thirteen starts off with the group encountering a man on the road. They bully him and knock him up off his horse. They keep going all the while talking to Michael and he tells them about the hunt for them. Petera tells them that the girl she has been talking with from Sealand is sending help. They get shot at and hide in the woods and David gets knocked out by an unknown object. When David wakes up he finds out the Fringe people captured them. On the plus side they can now communicate with the chick from Sealand. They meet the spider man again, and we learn that he is David's uncle. This is pretty cray cray because it means that Joseph Strorm's brother was made by the devil. The Fringes people keep Rosalind and Petra to make babies which is quite barbaric. I think that David will rescue them later on. Then David gets the tar beaten out of him again and he blacks out again. I think that soon the Sealand people will come and rescue David and his merry band of telepaths.

Chapters 9-10

Chapter 9 starts off with a shocking discovery. Petra almost drowns in a river, and she inadvertently forces all the mind reading people to come save her. It turns out that Petra can send communicate telepathically too, just much more powerfully than anyone else. I think that since more people are being born with this ability eventually everyone will be able to communicate like them. I also think that Petra being able to control everyone will lead to them all being found out. Chapter 10 begins with a wedding announcement, Anne wants to marry Alan Ervin, the brotha who found out Sophie was a mutant. David and his merry band of telepaths try to convince her to cancel. Anne is way out of his league and he is a puritanical prick. Long story short, they marry, Alan gets killed, Anne no happy, Anne takes a dirt nap, Anne leaves a suicide note exposing David and his merry band of telepaths, and Anne's sister Rachel burns the note. It is very fortunate that Rachel found the note in time to burn it, and i think that that saved them from having to run away immediately. I still think they will have to run away soon. I think this situation is similar to when the Jews were hiding from Nazis and had to lie about their identities.

Chapters 7-8

Chapter 7 starts off with David's mother having a ham. It is interesting to see that not the pregnancy or even the baby can be acknowledged until after the baby has been okayed by the inspector. The inspector takes a long time to get to their house deliberately and this makes his father mad. I think this is funny because David's father is kind of a prick. David's aunt comes buy and David finds out the for the third time she gave birth to a blasphemy. Long story short, her baby commits a murder-suicide and Aunt Harriet's body is found in a river. This  makes David sad. I think that later on David will run away because he is scared of being slaughtered. 

Chapter 5-6

Chapter 5 starts off with David and Sophie playing by a stream. Sophie takes a risk by taking off her shoes and going into the water with David. They come back a few days later, but while they are there they run into a boy named Alan. Alan discovers that Sophie has six toes, and to protect Sophie he fights Alan. Since David fights like a girl Sophie has to ghetto whack Alan in the head with a rock. Sophie gets a KO and when they go home and tell Sophie's parents they immediately start getting ready to leave. When David comes home the next day his father knows about the incident and was going to whip David. In Chapter 6 we find out the Sophie and her parents were all caught. It is not revealed to us yet what happened to them, but I think it is safe to assume they were all slaughtered. David then gets talking to Uncle Axle Rose about how he wants to run away. He tells David about what lies outside of Waknuk and the land inhabited by 'normal' people. He describes flourishing jungles which are made up of unidentifiable species that are all deviations.he tells David about the blacklands where nothing grows, and he tells him about other civilizations. all these civilizations would be considered by David's society to be mutants, but they all consider themselves to be closest to the true image. Uncle Axle tells David that nobody knows what the true image really is, and that his special ability might make him closer to it than everyone else. I think David does not really understand the depth of this statement. I think that later on David and his merry band of telepaths will set out to explore those far away lands in search of the city in David's dreams.

By the way, shoutout to whoever keeps viewing my blog from the Ukraine, stay heavy bro.

Chapters 3-4

In Chapter 3 David recalls an incident that happened at his home.David had gotten a splinter, and while he was dressing it he said he could have managed it himself if he had another hand. To his father this was equivalent to heresy. David is yelled at by his father and told to pray for forgiveness. That night he has a dream about Sophie the twelve-toed wonder being slaughtered like a calf by her father. I believe that this is foreshadowing, and that soon Sophie will be taking a dirt-nap. In Chapter 4 David's uncle finds him talking through his mind to all the other weird children, including his cousin Rosalind. His uncle tells him that he must never tell anyone about his special ability, and that he should not talk out loud while using it. Later we are told that there was a big battle between the Fringes people and the people from Waknuk. When they are done fighting David sees some of the Fringes people's leaders, and he is disturbed because one looks like his father. I think he is disturbed because seeing a whacko who looks like his father makes him empathize with the Fringes people a bit. Finally, David's dad has a hissy-fit because some guy bought some large horses that he thinks are deviations, but the government okayed. Dirty rotten government. I predict that it will soon be found out that Sophie has too many toes, and she will be killed. I think later on David and his group of telepaths will be found out and have to run off. I see some similarities between this book and the genocide that we watched in Hotel Rwanda, primarily the slaughter of minority groups.

Chapters 1-2

From what I have read so far, I believe that this novel is set after a nuclear holocaust. This nuclear holocaust has caused people and crops to grow with strange deformities. The people in this novel see these deformities and are determined to eradicate them so that they can maintain normality. The people call these mutations 'deviations', and they say that they are caused  by the devil. Whenever they find deformed crops or livestock they destroy or slaughter them. In the first chapter the main character, David, encounters a girl named Sophie. Sophie turns out to have six toes, to the society in which they live in this is unacceptable. Sophie's mother makes David promise never to tell anyone about Sophie. I predict the later in the book Sophie will be taken away because someone discovers she has six toes.
