Vision in Silver Part 3
This part of the story is really starting to pick up. The start of it is intense with Meg falling and cutting her knee and speaking visions. They then learn that Simon is in trouble and the apartments will be robbed, this is where the action begins. It made me so mad reading the whole fight scene with Simon and the HFL movement. I wanted Simon and everyone to just kill them all and come out with everyone ok. Sadly 2 had to die in the fight but Simon still risked his life saving as many as he could. “Simon hesitated. Nathan was a Wolf, one of his own. Nathan needed him. But as the Courtyard’s leader, his pack included Crows and Grizzlies and vampires… and even a few humans” (380). When Simon made the heroic act of going back and fighting off the humans instead of running away and thinking about himself he thought about the humans too. It made me appreciate Simon more and like him more as a character in the book that he would risk his life like that. My favorite part about this section is we finally learn about what’s inside the diary...kind of. We know it has to deal with why food rations are low in the human city and that the HFL movement is causing it somehow. I also have strange suspicious on the police force and the whole “how long did they take the police to respond” questions, I don’t know if we can trust the police force or not anymore or who is working with the HFL movement. Everyone seems to be losing trust but other characters are gaining more and more trust.
The whole stall market scene made me mad too. The humans in the HFL are so self absorbed in wanting to control everything that they forgot what happened to their ancestors when they did the same thing. They were so desperate to assert their dominance over the others that they tried to blindside them in a public place where they were just trying to have a good time. They put all the other humans in the market in danger and even killed a human police officer just because of where he was assigned to work. Even though I'm a human and know we have a similar HFL view in real life, I still hope the wildside terra indigene destroy the HFL.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the market fight. The author does a wonderful job making the reader despise the hfl members. They are irrefutably the scummiest of people. They need to be taught a lesson. The ending of the chapter has me hoping the terra indigene elders put them in their place. The part on the police force being untrustworthy is interesting. I see how having a divided police force could have a direct impact on how potentially innocent people could be neglected due to their alignment.
