2. What are the major threats Lauren and her companions face as they travel northward? How can those threats be related to issues in our own world? How about the governmentís response to such threats?
To me, it seems like the major threats Lauren and her companions face as they travel northward are disease and judgment from those around them that do not share their religious views. In our world, diseases like Ebola and measles are slowly rearing their heads and killing people as they are said to be spreading around slowly. When it comes to the religious views things, that has always been an issue in our society. We have always had those kinds of people who if you disagree with their beliefs, they will penalize you and make you feel belittled for thinking differently. The government is now currently dealing with ISIS who hurt people partially because of religious beliefs so in terms of being shunned because of religion, the government seems to only get involved if there is violence involved. In terms of infectious diseases, the government gets involved if people are being killed by them.
QUESTIONS:
1) At this point of the story, do you think that this is a world wide epidemic or is it just in a specific area?
2) Do you think that Lauren's differing beliefs from most of her home town will lead to her demise or eventually make her the hero and or God figure herself?
3) Why do you think religion has become so important at this time?
