Chapter 5 & 6

      In these next few chapters, there is so much information and conclusions to draw that I'm afraid my entry today will be really long. In chapter five, David and Sophie go to a river to catch some "shrimp things". Sophie, looking enviously at David, decided to take off her shoes and hop in the river with him. While she was trying to catch some unsuccessfully, she mistakenly put her guard down and a boy named Alan appears. She fleas, but left her footprint on a stone. Sophie is finally found out. And everything goes down from there. The pair, once Alan is unconscious, run to Sophie's home. After telling her parents everything, they leave. David is told to stay in the house till morning, and obeys. When he returns, Alan has told everything to the town, and David is in for it. He was also told to not say anything of the Wender's. Assuming he was beaten by his father, he gave the whole story away.

      In chapter six, David has some frightening dreams about Sophie. In the morning he is interrogated by his father and the inspector. Afterwards he decides he will run away, and goes to Uncle Axel for counsel. Uncle Axel, in return gives David a detailed description of the lands further from Labrador and Newf. He also advises David not to run away till he was old enough.

      Many predictions can be made from the last two chapters. One being that David lives in Labrador, just near the border of Quebec. Labrador isn't cold anymore because of Global Warming. The Northern lands are so weird because the plants have overgrown and aren't like the ones in Labrador. The Fringes live in a drought, in Quebec. After that comes the Black lands. These are in the New Brunswick area. In the First World War, the Nova Scotian area was devastated by an explosion and hit with a blizzard. During the 30's, New Brunswick was hit with a large earthquake, and then also afterwards a blizzard. So I think it’s either still black from those events, or a nuclear war, or a volcano formed. I tend to think volcano, since there's a faint glowing in the distance. Further south, you can find the USA where people are isolated so they kind of became like tribes and believe a whole bunch of weird things. The American Dream, eh? Ya, right... the further south you get, the more black people you find, so I thought it might be Mexico or something. There was also an albino tribe, a hairless tribe, and tribes that think some weird things about deviations. And then they hit the weeds. I think they're weeds just before a coral reef, so they were fortunate to hit the weeds first. If you go east, you either find unending sea, or the country where man-eating-women rule. I think they just are crossing the Atlantic Ocean, and when they find the country of man-eating-women, they found England, but were half mad when they got there. And other than that, that is all that is known of the wide world.
