An 'Underdog' Society

This represents the distance between Rachel and Pathik.

Pathik, a teenager who lived across the Line, had been looking for signs on the Greenhouse and saw a light being flashed (who had been Rachel) which meant he would be able to save his grandfather. As he sat there, Rachel came in closer until both of them were facing each other with the Line separating them; he asked for antibiotics and said he had a key which he lost to disable the Line but he would find a way to get past the Line. The next day, Rachel went back to the greenhouse and while she was talking to Indigo, Vivian and Ms. Moore caught her  and told Pathik to come back in two days but they didn't know if he heard them. Elizabeth Moore took them to her house to talk; she explained that she was in love with Indigo and they had a baby which meant Pathik was her grandson, she also said that she used to have a key to disable the Line. Lastly, Rachel went to tell her mom they had to help and then Elizabeth said that she used to have a key to disable the Line but it was stolen and Vivian added that she was going to check if a friend from Bensen still had one.

Throughout the book we learn when it is right to stand up and speak up. However, we also learn that sometimes is better not to say anything. Just like a collaborator told Vivian,

"If they are trying to dig up your grave," he had said, "you don't grab a shovel and help. You sit down and you shut up." (Hall 120).

This means that if they are trying to hurt you in a terrible way, you don't help them. Instead, you wait for them to solve a problem while you stay quiet and don't incentivize them. 

This picture shows that your options are never live or die.
There other things you can do.

I think that in real life you should listen to this advise because you should never give someone a reason to hurt you. For example; when someone is questioning a mistake you made, then, you shouldn't say anything that will add evidence of what you did. Instead, you stay quiet and look for a way to solve the issue.



Pathik was thinking about his grandfather Indigo who had told him that they had to be hopefull that they will someday get help. Pathik didn't believe him because he thought that things were over. Then Indigo patiently answered;

“As long as the sun has not set on a day, anything can happen.” (Hall 10).

This phrase gives so much hope in many ways. It means that things can change until it's truly over. It doesn't matter if time is running up, miracles can always occur. When my uncle had an accident the doctors put him under the intensive care unit. After a few days, the doctors said that if he didn't get better by noon then they would have to disconnect him which meant he would die. Just as noon was approaching we had already given up and we were saying goodbye but then, his breathing started regulating and he got better! Just like in the book, things can chance in a heartbeat.

Night Changes: One Direction. This video shows how 

everything can change all of a sudden.

I think that Rachel will cross the Line with her mom and Elizabeth to help Pathik. Although it is illegal, they have to think about others. Just like Trish in Divergent, when she had to stand up to the government and risk it all to change the opressive rules. Both should do this, thinking about the greater good by breaking the law. In conclusion, although breaking the law is wrong, it's even worse to let others die because of it.
