Response: Q: What does this boook remind you wonder about? Why?
This book has a lot of questions behind it like will he ever go outside of his house and why could you only have two children and not three. The thing is that he has to hide inside his house because he was the third child born and so he has to hide because it is illegal. I thought when I first hurd it, that why do they have to do that because right now you can have 3 and back then they only were aloud to have 2. I am not really saying that it is messed up, I am just saying why did it change or maybe it was just a made up thing in the book but if it wasn't i still thought it is wrong.

I dont think i could ever relate to the pages of the book i read because I have never had to hide from the outside. If I was luke (main character) I would try and get out there and breath in the air and enjoy the time that I get outside. Because in this one part of the book (the beggining) it says that he took his last breath of fresh air and went inside. So that just told me that wow he must not ever be able to go inside because it said "last breath of fresh air". That sentance just told me his whole life pretty much that he never got to go outside and he had to hide inside his ouse from the outside and can't even go by window's. I can't wait to continue my book and see what happens.
