Chapters 3-4

In chapters 3 and 4 David tells us a story about his life at home. He explains that he had gotten a splinter and when his mother was bandaging it, David said he could have done it himself if he had three hands. His father was outraged that david had said that and he reprimanded him and made him get down on his knees and pray. I think that what his father did was a little overrated because David never wished for another hand but his dad had taken it that way. In chapter 4 David's uncle Axel finds out that David can speak to others through his mind and he warns David to never do it again or let anyone else find out about it. Also in this chapter there is an attack by the people of the fringes. Two of them are captured and one looks strangely similar to David's father. I think that later on in the book this will be important. I think it's really cool that David can speak telepathically and I don't think it should be a bad thing. The telepathy thing reminds me of superheroes with special powers which is super cool.
