chapters 5-6

In chapter 5, David and Sophie hang out a lot more and we start to see that there friendship is really strong. Sophie and David are playing in a stream when Alan, one of David's friends, sees Sophie's sixth toe. Sophie and David tell Sophie's father and thy end up needing to leave. they ask David to stay at there house for the night to give them enough time to get to the fringes. when david gets home the next day, his father has already found out about David hanging out with a deviation. David get severely punished and it makes you realize just how tough Davids father can be and how difficult his home life is. In the beginning of chapter 6, David is crying because Sophie's family got caught, this part shows just how much David cared for Sophie. I'm very disappointed that Sophie gets caught, I really hoped she wouldn't. Later in chapter 6, David expresses to his uncle Axel that he wants to run away and his uncle tells him that he should be very careful because there are a lot of dangerous places out side of Waknuk. I'm excited to see if David does choose to run away and if his uncle Axel will find the eighth telepathy speaker. In the end of chapter 6, uncle Axel is explaining to David that he might be closer to the image of God then everyone else. I'm glad that David has at least one person who cares for him in his family.
