Gathering Blue Chapters Six, Seven, and Eight

                I thought chapters six, seven, and eight were really interesting. One element I particularly enjoyed was how at the start of chapter six they talked about the bell. I think it was great to put the bell in, because people still having a concept of time made the book seem much more real. I also liked how the author gave Matt such an interesting dialect. Another thing that I have continuously enjoyed throughout the book is all of the detail. When Kira's leg is described as making a broom sound as she walks; it really brings the book alive. For some reason I don't think Jamison is going to end up being very nice. I predict that he is going to end up being very evil actually. The reason I think that is because the two most talented kids in the village parents are dead and living in the same place. I predict that the robe has something to do with the way people live, if something happens to the robe there way of life will change. One thing I am wondering about is if there are people with other talents, besides just Kira and Thomas, living in the building. I am also very intrigued by Annabella's character. I think she will play a very important role in the story. Another thing I have a question about is whether or not blue is hard to make or a secret. I am really enjoying it so far! I would so far give Gathering Blue four out of five stars.
