Chapters five and six of Cion were interesting. I love how-in Chapter five-the author uses Toloki's preconceived ideas to lead the reader astray as to what is going on between him and Orpah, Nathan and Orpah, and Mr. Quigley and Orpah. It makes you see that Toloki really likes Orpah as opposed to just finding her attractive. He is jealous for her. I also love how chapters five and six are more connected, and therefore the past and the present are now more visibly connected. You can see this connection in the way Toloki and Obed are mourning for the guy in the past. You can also see the connection in the setting of the place. I guess that might be my favorite part of the book: the way the past and the present connect because that happens in real life too.
I did not like that Abednego and Niall killed the reformed slave-catcher, but that brought up the point that even though you may be sorry for your past mistakes, you still have to live with the consequences of them. All in all I really liked these two chapters, I still think that Mda could have spared us some of the details though.
