He is able to persuade the tek boss to take him, Spaz, and Little Face to Mongo. He is manipulative, brave, confident, and defiant. His old and wise appearance is used to his advantage in order to obtain his desired outcome. This detail also carries the purpose of showing us the horrendous side effects of mindprobes which parallels are society when we witness the horrors of addiction.]]> 2022-04-01 13:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125392460 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125400361 " 'Edibles! Get him, he's got edibles!' The mob hears that and they forget all about snatching the proov girl. Howling and waving their torches, they race off into the smoke, smelling blood, following the sound of the chase." ]]> 2022-04-01 13:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125400361 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125403426 This quote is important because it gives more depth to the character of Ryter. Though he is old and fragile, and could easily be killed by the mob; he chooses to help Lanaya. He is true to his values as he says "Fair maidens must be rescued." He is a courageous man that is quick on his feet. This event also reveals Lanaya, who later helps them on their journey. She is a huge help in getting Bean healthy. ]]> 2022-04-01 13:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125403426 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2125449266 " 'It's obvious the Latch Queen was just using us to get at Vida Bleek and his assassins. Distract him with us while she attacks. I doubt she really cares about the menace of the mindprobes. Or maybe she does, who knows? The point is, right now she's got her hands full. She'll need all of her people fighting by her side. So the way is clear.'

Spaz would "take" her to Eden by closing their eyes and envisioning Eden. Spaz would take her to Eden to make it stop raining, or fix a boo-boo, or make Charly and Kay stop fighting. ]]> 2022-04-04 18:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129215631 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129235660 While Bean's love for Eden seems like a trivial detail, it is actually a very important element that reveals how this world functions. The normals are wishing for a much better life than they have and they escape through mindprobes. Bean was just four years old when she decided that she wanted to go to Eden. This is the type of mindset that could lead to addiction to the mindprobes. Small details like this add to the grim, depressing world that the characters inhabit. ]]> 2022-04-04 18:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129235660 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129261483 "Pretty soon I'm laughing along with her and for some reason I'm even starting to think she doesn't look so bad.

Not only is it used to stress the power of Vida Bleek and Lotti Getts, but it is used to highlight the importance of Spaz. Why do these latchbosses (Lotti and Billy) take such importance to him? It shows that he means much more than he thinks. This event also leaves them free to go to Bean. ]]> 2022-04-04 18:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129274531 tgarcia2261 https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129278638 This detail is important because it shows Spaz being positive and stresses how important their relationship is. Spaz, throughout the book, could be extremely pessimistic, but Bean was what kept him going. Bean is the reason he rebelled against a restrictive society. She is what made the entire journey possible. A journey that could possibly change their society forever.]]> 2022-04-04 18:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tgarcia2261/qwt4vc4bkdyd4qb6/wish/2129278638
