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.
