Gathering Blue Chapters Twelve, Thirteen, and Fourteen

                        Chapters twelve, thirteen, and fourteen were very intriguing. Many of the question I had were answered. One question that was answered was; if there were other people with talents living in the building besides Thomas and Kira. The answer to that question is yes. There is also a tyke named Jo. Although she is a Tyke, like Matt, she is much younger. It reminded me a little bit of The Giver, because in The Giver the people aren't being locked up, like Jo, but they are in a sense imprisoned. The people who live in Jonas's world don't have any choices. They are not allowed to pick who they marry, what holidays to celebrate (there is no religion), and there also not allowed to pick what colors they wear because color has been taken away completely. Although they aren't physically locked up like Jo, they are very far from being free. I feel really bad for Jo, because all she wants is to see her mom, but her mom is dead and no one even cared enough to tell her. I predict that Jamison had something to do with Jo's parents death, because it seems very suspicious to me that the three most talented kids in the village parents die and at that time Jamison just so happens to have extra rooms. I don't think Kira made a good choice asking Jamison about beasts and telling him what Annabella said. I think Jamison is responsible for Annabella's death. He yells harshly at Jo and keeps her locked up and he also snaps at Kira when she asked about the beasts. I think those are three very good reasons to distrust him. I am really curious about what will happen next and I can't wait to read more. I would give chapters twelve, thirteen, and fourteen four and a half out of five stars.
