Lit letter 3

As we come to an end toward our book, Max and the others have been captured by ter brocht and they give them a series of test to see if they are worthy enough to survive the by-half plan. The by-half plan is to reduce the world by half but the only ones who are allowed to survive are those who are smart, strong, or have some sort of special thing about them, sound kind of like hitler? Ari who is with ter brocht, is told to give Max some tours basically, they tour around and Ari tells Max that everyone has an expiration date, and you wont be able to tell when until it appears on the back of your neck. there was one chapter when they were interviewing them to see i they had adapted any new abilities, and of course they are all being uncooperative, and nudge says " i can eat nine snickers in one sitting" pg 139. After the interview tor berch goes on some rampage saying how they will not survive the plan and then he leaves, then Gazzy says " I vil destroy de snicka bars !" mocking ter borch with his creepy exact mimicry of people, which i thought was kind of funny.


When Max and the others escape, Max decides that they should head toward Europe and destroy the Itex cooperates over there. When they find the Itex cooperation in London, MAxs voice appears talking about the hydra and saying how when you cut one head two more come back in its place, so he tells Max "The Hydra itself must be destroyed, Max, THe whole thing at once. This is just one head. Find the body and kill it" pg 219.I like this just because its brings some mythology into present times, and kind of tells us what Max needs to do to prevail and win.
