Chapter 9+10

Chapter 9+10


In chapters 9 and 10 many crazy things start to happen. We learn of Petra's telepathic 'powers', and Anne's story is very is very intense. First things first, I think it was very wise of David and Rosalind to not talk to Petra about the telepathy. I think since she's so young it could scare her, or she might spill the beans. I kind of saw it coming that Petra would also be telepathic. The next thing that I wanna talk about is Anne's story. I knew of Anne because of previous chapters in which they mention her and her sister Rachel. I did not know that we would get to meet the other telepathic people. I thought that we would have gotten to know the others from a distance, but I didn't think that we would come into contact with them. Anne's situation proved me very wrong. Anne plans to marry Alan. Yes, the same Alan that told about Sophie. Little jerk! I can understand that she is in love and wants to marry him, but she is completely blinded by it. She needed to realize that as hard as it may be, she couldn't marry Alan. He would've found out sooner or later. However, I didn't have to worry about this for long. Alan got shot by and arrow in the neck and was killed. Pity, pity. When Anne hears of this, she kills herself. I think this shocks the others, but I feel especially bad for her sister Rachel. Her and Rachel were both telepathic and I think that it must have been hard to loose someone who you shared your thoughts with. The letter that Rachel finds when she finds Anne is very discouraging. It was addressed to the inspector, and it ratted out David, Rosalind, Rachel, and all the other telepathic people. I think that David is starting to see that keeping his gift secret is about to get very difficult.

  1. great summary. First things first, Alan is a little jerk! ;) I think that uncle axel killed Alan. To be honest, i didn't expect petra to be telepathic, but it makes me wonder if telepathy is passed down generically or not since David and Petra are siblings.

  2. I agree that Petra was likely too young to understand the full dangers of her abilities. Good for you that you were able to see it coming! Remember the beginning of novel mentioned there was another baby (babies?) between David and Petra that did not get their normalcy certificate? I wonder what THEIR deviations were.... Good work!
