Reached

by Ally Condie

   While reading my book I have taken notice on how serious the mutation has gotten and the desperation for a cure. The Pilot had a reason to be taking Cassia, Ky, and Xander together he suspects them of doing something and that they may be Society sympathizers, or work with someone completely different. The Pilot is desperate and questions them thoroughly telling them since they have been apart of the Rising major things have happened like poisoned lakes, mystery codes, and the Gallery where people shared things they made, like poems. They are all being sent to the Endstone Villages to contribute more for the Rising. Xander will be working on the cure along side Oker who is ninety and found the cure for Alzheimer’s. Once they made it to this village a bit after Ky fell still because he was not immune to the mutation. Cassia’s visits Ky every day when she’s on break from sorting. Ky can listen to them, but they do not know this. The people in Endstone are doing jus a bit more better then the people in the Society because Oker made a better supplement that they are know distributing in Society, but they are all still looking for a cure.

    Oker is a new character in the book Reached. Oker seems to be wiser at ninety years old the oldest person alive, he found the cure for Alzheimer’s, and has created a better dripping for those that are still. Not only that but he brings something important to Xander. In the book Oker told Xander this, “They’re no rebellion. They’re Society, with a different name, and they just want you and your followers.” This clearly shows that Oker is thinking differently, showing that he understands more and views the Rising differently then others would. He is explaining how the Rising is just taking over like Society did, it is no different they all want followers, and power. Xander then questions the Rising and the lies that they have given them.
