1. These chapters were very action packed and took a whole turn in the books story line.  It included flashbacks and murder seen cases, if these chapters could be described in one word, it would be fearful
2. We all made conclusions about how these following chapters would turn out, and it was very interesting to see how the characters developed throughout our reading
3. We were astonished by how the people thought that there was a nuclear war and it really had us thinking what was next to come

1. The start of this book is turning out to be very good.
2.We feel that we can see ourselves enjoying this book for a while
3.the aspect of superhero’s is really cool and we really enjoy it

1.These chapters were filled with emotion. We see the power of conformity play a major role in the reason of why Bernard humiliates John.
2. Lenina is getting out of hand. Her use of soma is controlling her right now and it is negatively affecting other characters as well.
3. This book taught me a lot about the difference between truth and happiness. Sometimes it may be better to hide the truth for a greater good but I think lying would be much worse. Soma destroys people’s ability to discover the truth but it helps them find happiness.

These chapters were filled with action as we know because Manhattan and Laurie broke Rorschach out of jail.  It also expresses love and affection because Manhattan and Laurie both became very intimate with each other.  Chapter 7, 8, and 9 show the reader the true sides and characteristics that these individuals have.  And that their powers do not represent who they are as people.
