Blog Post #12- "Waiting for David"

• What does the following quote from the chapter tell you about the city?

"That was one thing being outside the city:It made all that nature stuff they taught in school seem a lot more useful. She remembered now how rainwater fell on the mountains and soaked into the ground..."

Well that quote to me tells me how different the city is from the ruins. It also tells me they teach "uglies" about the ruins and how to survive. Almost like they know most "uglies" will sneak out to the ruins.
