The Host: Day 9--Chapters 19 and 20

Chapter 19:
"Just because she isn't human, do you think that means she doesn't feel pain?" Animal cruelty. There are a lot of people who abuse animals just because they can. Did you know that pets will still love you, even if you are mean to them? Do you remember the episode of Doctor Who with the space whale? How the people on that ship were abusing it? I think about that as I read the quote. Everyone in the hiding place, except for Jeb and Doc, wants Wanderer dead, because she is not human. So far. This line was said by Ian. Ian was with the group that brought Wanderer in. He did not want her there, either. But even he notices that Wanderer is not like the other souls. He sees the bruises that Jared, Kyle, and even himself has left on her. He is beginning to have some compassion for her. He feels guilty for having strangled her.

Chapter 20:
"A person would be on her guard on a dark and ominous night, a person would be ready. But on a clear, sunny day? How would she know to flee when she couldn't see any place for danger to hide?" I mentioned Doc, how he doesn't want Wanderer dead. The only reason he doesn't want her dead, is because he wants to experiment on her to see if he can learn anything about the Souls. It would probably be torture for Wanderer. He has speaks softly and smiles a little, but she still doesn't trust him. She doesn't know what he would have planned for her. To her, he is more dangerous than Kyle.
