basically what has happened since the last section is that the three main kids: Sam, Astrid, and Quinn accompanied by Edilio, a 9 year old. all head to the nuclear power plant in Perdido Beach where Astrid's mom works to look for her autistic brother. Luckily they do find him in the control room of the plant along with a TV screen with the map of the land they are on. on the screen that shows, it shows the barrier that goes around the island, and that everything that lie inside the barrier, is radioactive. it's really confusing as your reading trying to sort all the information out that they are spitting at you because there is so much.
Do you remember that girl Lana who got in that car wreck because her grandfather disappeared behind the wheel. he arm had been severely broken and he leg had been broken and the rest of her body was just mutilated. well she laid there for days inside that car with her dog, Patrick, just waiting to die and watching the vultures circle above her, until a mountain lion came. Luckily, Patrick scared off the mountain lion, but not without getting bitten in the neck. anyway, she fell asleep with her hand on Patrick's wound, and when she woke up he was miraculously healed. Lana did the same for her broken arm, and it turned out to be healed too. Do you remember how i said how some of the kids developed powers? Sam being the fire. Well Lana's is some sort of healing power. wowza.
Theres this school, Coates Academy, where mostly the rich kids go in the area. parents also send their kids there because they cause trouble and such. Sam's mom works there as the school nurse. well anyway, a whole bunch of the Coates kids come to Perdido Beach, with their leader being Caine. Caine just automatically proclaims himself as leader i guess because he makes this big speech about the future and the future plans he has. he also asks from the Perdido beach kids if he could talk to some people that they think could best represent them so they can figure out a way to make their new life run the smoothest as possible i guess. Sam, Astrid, and Quinn are chosen along with the bully Orc. Mary, the one who runs the daycare also attends the "meeting."
Nothing is really accomplished by this meeting, except for the fact that Cookie, one of Orc's crew, is tackled by a fallen crucifix and is severely hurt. oh, did i mention the meeting was held in a church?
Oh, and the space within the barriers, is now being called the FAYZ which is made up by Orc. it stands for Fallout Alley Youth Zone. Fallout being the radioactive material brought to you by the nuclear power plant.
if this ever happened, like for real. i don't think i would want to be alive to watch it unfold. things are changing. animals are mutating. i don't want to be caught in the crossfire of anyone's problems. so if this happens, i am glad i am over fifteen years old. although, i am still very curious on where the parents have gone. i think it would be funny if they were like outside the barriers just watching their kids. maybe it's like a reality show, like in The Hunger Games. but even then, all the kids kill each other... i don't think parents would want to watch that.
i wouldn't want to be in it. let alone watch it.
Really fun blog. Love the post about the thin mints, and the one where you make fun of the way you dressed for school. Hilarious. Nice, thoughtful reading logs, too. Great work.
