Bea looked out the window again then back at Astrid, “Let me tell you a story about me and your grandpa...”

It’s so strange. I’m very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn’t it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this.’ She rattled some chestnuts that had fallen off the tree in the front yard. ‘Or talking about how strange the world is. Being with people is nice. But I don’t think it’s social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you?” (26-27). Clarisse is the polar opposite of Millie and her friends, she doesn’t accept the lies of the government and is constantly asking questions.

After he saw her nodding in agreement, it compelled him to discuss about how well he made his way into the social fabric of the Ryanites. “Okay, so maybe it did shape my perceptions regarding people live in the society on the surface, but no matter what, there’s nothing that will dissuade me from knowing that the Dweller world is–and has always been for a long time–in a state of Anarchy and chaos. Because of my foster father, all that is going to change, and I know it.”
