Chapter 13 & 14

The journey continues in chapter 13 and 14. As David, Petra, and Rosalind venture further into the Fringes, they are disturbed by the unnatural and strange looking plants and crops. It seems where ever they go, people are fascinated by the Giant Horses. While Petra still continues to communicate with the Zealander, David and Rosalind are trying to figure out who she is and where she comes from. It must've been very frustrating for Petra trying to 
communicate when she didn't understand much herself. 

It must be terrifying for Rosalind and David knowing that pursuers are behind them and at any moment they could get caught. I don't think Petra totally understands what David means when he agrees to kill her and Rosalind if they get caught.

In chapter 14, they're captured by the Fringes and led through the country. We find out that they are going to one of the camps. Who are all these people in the camp? How long have they lived there? The Zealander talks about how Wild country was once Fringes, and Waknuk was once wild country. It is interesting to me how these people seem to forget the past so easily. When David meets his Uncle, I am surprised to find out that he wants revenge against his brother and community. Originally his Uncle seems friendly, 
welcoming, and kind, but as we get to know him more, he seems creepy, and strange. 
I predict that later on David's father, Joseph, and his uncle will meet again.
