Chrysalids
The Chrysalids is a science fictional book of suspense, irony and pathos. The six main characters in the novel are David Strorm, Joseph Strorm, Gordon Strorm, Petra Strorm, Rosalind, and Sealand woman. They have different situations and different opinions in the story which adds more suspense and keeps the reader interested right to the least page.In this novel the differences between people are not physical but mental as well. The novel's narrator is a left-handed, brown haired man called David, one of the chrysalids. When he was small, he sometimes dreamed of a city that was different from Waknuk. David has the power to communicate with his mind and it is called thought-shapes. However, he is unable to communicate with everyone by using thought-shapes. He can only communicate with people who have telepathic power. On the other hand, he lives in a world where people think of themselves as normal and the Norms try to destroy those who are abnormal. He makes friends with Sophie, the mutant, when he was ten. He keeps her as a secret but is still afraid that her secret will be revealed one day. Nevertheless, she still goes out to the Fringe because Alan Ervin discovers Sophie has six toes and goes telling David's father and
She is tall, slim, confident and has bronze-gold coloured hair. She is in love with David, but because of the feud between Rosalind's father and David's father, it is impossible that they can marry each other. Her nose is straight, mouth is a little wide, chin is rounded, and hair was just a little darker then Rosalind's. She appears to have the perfect appearance. In chapter 11, Petra rides her pony into the woods and is attacked by an animal. His father, Elias Strorm, is a founder of Waknuk. At the end of the story, he tried to keep Rosalind and Petra captive because he wanted Rosalind to give him a normal baby. She is a happy child and pretty since she was a baby with her close golden curls, so everyone loves her so much. At last, she was brought to the Sealand with David and Petra by the Sealand woman. He is supposed to inherit Waknuk but because he is a mutant, Joseph got it instead. At the end of the story, David, Rosalind and the people who have telepathic powers escape to the Fringe. The Sealand woman is the one who rescues David, Petra and Rosalind to Sealand. Joseph is even willing to kill his children to prevent change.
