Social contracts:

They define people by other people in multiple ways. In this part of the book they are mostly focused on Jem and scout. They are siblings and at the scene we are at they’re in very deep trouble. Jem has to retrieve his pants back from Mr Nathan’s fence and come back safely in order to keep the social contract between him and his dad were as scout doesn’t want Jem to go because he might get shot. I found this part of the story very thrilling because I thought that Jem was going to die in this part of the book.. I was let down.

It’s feels like it’s been forever, I’m sitting in this SUV wishing I could be back with my family,

It’s horrifying just thinking about how far I am from my mother. I am telling you this because I have nothing else to do but stare out the window and write in this journal. I am hoping that this journal will get to you somehow. The catastrophes that happened this week are insane. My town has been taken over by a militant group and they told me that no one could help us even if they tried; my mum told me that everything was ok, that everything would be fine, that we would be able to live in a better place. A place we could call home. I couldn’t believe her for a second – I wanted to but I couldn’t. We were told there is something more out there, something more than the idiotic soldiers they call guardians with their white body armour. But there are these things called Stalkers: they roam around the abandoned cities feasting off of the survivors that are still out there. I’m scared, but I have to fend for myself at the moment.

I think we’re heading towards Washington. I remember going down this road towards it with my family, it was one of the best times of my life. I heard rumours that there’s a group of  rescuing people who are still out there. There are people who are near death or having trouble with the guardians and they are taken to different bases scattered around America. I wish I could be like them, join them somehow, but right now I’m stuck here in the back seat of this stupid car.

We’ve found a gas station. It’s a good place to stay for the moment – a nice place in the middle of no-where. Snowing now. My friend Jason, a man from our group, told me that it was gonna snow soon and there will be tonnes of wild animals everywhere. But he then told me that the stalkers would be coming too. It’s a horrifying thought, just thinking that my life or Jason or anyone in the group’s life could be coming to an end. It just sends a shiver down my spine thinking about it.

It’s winter now. I’ve found a cross-bow in the back of the car just sitting there, so I spent the past hour trying to hunt some rabbits. I haven’t found a single one, so I decided to go back inside and have a rest. We are gonna stay a while in the gas station. We’ve seen a lot of people drive past here honking their horns, and some of them have signs saying: ‘FOLLOW TOWARD FREEDOM’. An old man in our group said that they’d be cannibals and that they’re hungry for war and death. I couldn’t sleep that night knowing that there is something else out there, something dangerous and scary: I now know that.. The Stalkers are moving.

Honestly place is very strange, I entered the hallway and already I got a stronger whiff
Of the new but hideous smell its I feel like vomiting I was told it’ll be fine, it smells like hand sanitiser and the smell of new plastic had a baby and this time you can’t tell wether the diaper need changing. Not forgetting this place is hella creepy there is nothing apart from metal chairs plastic eating utensils every thing looks like it’s been here along time

My uncle is sleeping in my room I hate this place even more now I am really depressed

But not as much as my uncle. I heard he tried to kill himself I can see why who would want to live in a world like this?!? It’s really frustrating most of the time. I’ve been working out lately just to make sure I can handle it out there in the world I know it’s going to be tough so I’m making preparations for what’s to come I hope I be accepted

Into the Air Force I really want to be like the hero of my family and make things right.

I think that he is a interesting character because he doesn’t talk until the near end of the film he reads a lot and he has a fitness regime but he doesn’t look like he’s been doing it for along time

As I sit at this table, surrounded by my loved ones; my family, I feel like I have been away from them for years. This decision was my own I wanted to do it, it may be seem bad for other people but to me it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
