Chrysalids Ch. 3-4

Previously on Chrysalids David and Sophia become friends, but Sophie is a mutant which causes David to question his beliefs.

In chapters three and four are protagonist David starts spending more time with Sofia who debates with him about the technologies the old people used to own. Soon he meets Sofia's father who is understandably untrusting of David because he's Joseph Strorms son. Who is a no nonsense religious leader who believes deformities of any kind are a sin, and must be cleansed. When David isn't hanging out with Sofia he sometimes sits on the porch talking to his cousin Rosalind telepathically, and is spotted by his uncle Axel who tells him to be careful and keep his power a secret. So David passes this information to all the other kids who have the same power, and they all agree to keep it a secret. Soon after the fringe dwellers plan to attack Waknuk, but the settlers counter attack and beat them back. Afterwards We are introduced to a new character named Angus Morton, David's uncle who seems to have more lenient view on deformities. Which I predict will cause problems in the future for David's father. At the end of the attack by the fringe dwellers they capture a few of them and once David see's them he is surprised by their lack of deformities. Which I think shows David questioning his upbringing, and ultimately guiding him towards his destiny.
And as always remember

 Blessed Be The Norm

Chrysalids Ch. 1-2

So far in the Chrysalids we have learned this story takes place in a small settlement called Waknuk. A highly religous town were being different is a blasphemy to God. In the story are protagonist David dreams of a futuristic city full of lights and machines, but in reality he just lives in a post nuclear frontier.  We soon see the future of conflict in are story when David befriends a girl named Sophie who has twelve toes. Which he promises to keep a secret, but soon realizes it conflicts with everything he's been taught by his father. A highly religous man who believes different is evil. I predict that later his father will find out about his friend and then David and Sophie will have to run away in search of a more excepting community. Probably somewhere down in the badlans where the mutants live. Maybe he'll even find his magical city he dreams about.
And Remember

 BEWARE THOU THE MUTANT!!!!!!
