Lit Cirle, Letter 2; Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

"If you do see or hear of anything unusual, here's a number for you to call. Thanks for your time. Sorry to disturb you."
Heavy footsteps faded from my hearing. A minute later I felt the front door slam shut.

Hmm for a second there when I first read this quote, I was for sure that the men from the "local law enforcement" (probably Erasers) was surely going to barge into the door and some action will occur, guess I was wrong. Instead the outcome was the men leaving and not even becoming suspicious about the doctor, Dr. Martinez, who was keeping Max hidden in the office. I thought the Erasers were a group of pretty much ruthless predators, expert at hunting down anyone who escaped from the "School," and who wouldn't let anything get in their way, but instead got yelled at to an ordinary veterinarian. The Erasers were all bark, but didn't even bite back to Dr. Martinez. Also, doesn't the Erasers, half-man half wolf, have a keen smell and could find Max pretty easily? Well they sure didn't prove themselves about how deadly they are and their keen nose. The Erasers in my opinion are pretty weak for being half wolf and half men, other than transforming into a hairy person with claws.

"They wanted to help the School," Angel said, gasping out the words through her sobs. "They let them put bird genes in us. And gave us away for money." (227)

Wow this pretty much shocked me, but yet doesn't seem to surprised me that much. How could Angel and the Gasman's parents just gave them away to be experimented on, and let the evil scientists do horrible things to them just for money? That's pretty mess up, but the sad thing is, that it's sometimes even true in this real world. Well maybe not the evil scientists putting bird genes into children, but parents selling their kids off for money or other things like labor. It's horrible for anything like this to happen when your parents would sell you to some stranger only for money, and who knows what the stranger will do to you. What were the parents thinking selling their own children away, couples of sick jerks I say. Well good thing this is a book after all and hope a happy ending will fall upon the flocks.
