Cion- 3 & 4

After reading chapters 3 & 4, I am beginning to see the connection between the two stories that are taking place. These chapters were much more interesting, and a much faster read. They grabbed my attention from the beginning. I am glad that Toloki is starting to change his opinion about Obed, because I feel as though he is a pretty conceited character. Chapter 4 is my favorite chapter thus far, because it is so full of adventure. Mda does a great job portraying the escape of Abednego and Nicodemus, bringing the underground railroad to life. The only question that I have regarding these chapters has to do with the Massa Blue Fly. I understand that it is some type of spirit, but I am lost as to what it is, and how it follows the boys, as well as the significance that it holds.
