QUESTION 1:Explain how the author creates suspense in this book.
RESPONSE 1: The author creates suspense by adding thing that you don't even expect that the character won't do that. For example when the girl who is acting to be a boy goes up to the kid Alec and pretending to cut Alec in the throat. Also in the part where Alec has the urge to go save the people in the snow and he said I won't but he does it anyways I thought these were some suspense in the story.


QUESTION 2:What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?

RESPONSE 2: I think Alec did a bad idea of going to go save the Darwinist because they are Clanker and they are there enemies. Also because maybe he will get shot for being a enemy. Another thing maybe Count Volger his master will maybe be yell at him and make him in trouble. Also if he may have screwed it up then the Germany will have found him and killed him so I think what he did was risky. That is why I think Alec did the wrong chose to go outside and help the Darwinist.
