OK, its later and I'm going to write down all my impressions of this amazing part. Honestly AnnieB, each time I read a section I think your writing cannot get any better, than another great section gets knocked out of the park!
Thank you. I do my best.
I have heard the term harvest moon, but never super moon, very different. It most have been unusally bright for the District Nine farmers to work by.
The harvest moon is the full moon in late September or early October, right around the time of the harvest. A super moon occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, making the moon appear unusually large and bright. (It also can occur during the new moon, but you can't really see it then.) A super moon does indeed reflect more light than usual, making it easier to see at night.
Apparently they are no longer living at the farm, Martha would never allow the house to get that dusty!
Martha has been living in Victor's Village with Clark, where she can keep an eye on him. With the fall work done and winter beginning, they don't spend much time on the farm, thus allowing the house to get dusty.
Just what he needs, time to think and clear his mind, which is something he hasn't been able to do since returning from the games. Flying, will be the first step towards this 'new' normal.
Or as "normal" as things can be for someone like Clark.
Clark is human. Completely and compassionately human.
Yes, though he has trouble convincing himself of that.
I have to wonder if there really are tapes of Clark. As well as are there really people who will expose his secret if he does anything to Snow. Snow is too much a of control freak to place that kind of power in someone else's hands. What if they were to use Clark against Snow?
Then it would be quite a power struggle between competing factions in Panem, with the world's strongest man caught in the middle and trying to do what is right (even if what is right isn't quite clear). Do the tapes exist? Well ... you'll just have to keep reading.
Out of the forges of adversity a new man has been formed.
Yes, and he's stronger than he was before.
Martha's son, older than his years and very different, has finally returned home from the games.
And learned to live with himself.
I await the next installment with quiet eagerness.
It's in progress.
