chapters 10-11

In these chapters the meeting was in session. Matty never knew so many people who would have given up their inner selves for a sewing machine, gaming machine, or anything else. While the meeting was going on he saw many familiar faces but they had changed - even Ramon's mom had changed, instead of seeing if her daughter was o.k., like she usually did, she shook her and told her to be quiet. Matty felt strange knowing there was nothing he, Seer, or Leader could do anymore. While walking home defeated Matty and Seer were talking about the decision to close Village forever. Matty was to leave the next day to go and deliver messages to the other villages and get Seer's daughter Kira. When Matty left he kept in mind that the forest was thickening and he was to be very careful.
