The major event that happened in the pages I have read was that Cal killed his boss. I will tell you how this happened after cal findes his brother they go back to there camp site they are expecting to have James become a full on citizen and Cal getting raised to one of the biggest position in the community. When they wake up Cal runs over to the leader of the community to get raised from that horrible dag kennel. But when Cal gets there the leader says that his brother won't be becoming a citizen but Cal could still get the rais but that would mean he would have to leave his brother and go to a new community. Cal turnes the offer down and goes back to work to that horrible dag kennel were they teach stray dogs to become an aggressive attack dog.
When Cal went back to the dog kennel his boss Quarles gives him a job to go and retrieve this stray dog that they want to tran to be an attack dog. So Cal follows his orders and goes looking for the dog when he finally finds the dog Cal sees that he had a name tag his name was Bear. Right away Bear warms up to Cal and forces Cal to play and pet him. They were playing for a very long time and finally Cal driftes to sleep when he woke up he remembers that Quarles will be looking for him and he will be very angry. So Cal finds Bear and grabs onto his colar but it was to late Cal sees Qurales jeep coming up the hill. He was furious he bunches and slaps Cal a couple of times but Cal does not fight back. Then finally Cal throws a punch and hits Quarle in the jaw at that moment Quarle pulled a gun out of his pants and aims it at Cal. Right before Quarle was able to pull the trigger bear attacks him and Quarle drops the gun Cal lunges for the gun. Quarle had Bear in a corner and takes a knife out of his other pocket and is about to kill bear but Cal then pulls the trigger pointed at Quarle and hits him dead on.
When Cal gets back up he goes to inspect Quarle his body was lifeless. Right then and there he startes running to find his brother to tell him that they need to get out of town before the soldiers realize Quarle passing. Cal tries to leave Bear but bear follows him into town. When Cal gets to town he tells his brother that they need to pack and leave. After they were done packing they busted throught the town walls and try to make a brake for the outside world!
Well done explaining the main event. This sounds like a really cool book. Is this the one you pointed out to me at the book fair?
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your first sentence it really caught my attention. I could picture what you were describing in the second paragraph clearly. Were you shocked when Cal had killed his boss or did you expect it? From what I read in your blog, it seems like a book I would read.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a really important event. It caused Cal to leave the community which is a big decision. Nice blog.
