  Reflect on the following topic in a journal entry of about 150 words (½ to 3/4 page, double spaced). Use proper sentence form and give the rationale or reasons for your ideas.    

  A human in the novel is defined quite rigidly e.g. must have only five toes. For the people of Waknuk this makes perfect sense, in fact it is a definition upon which they live their lives and stake the future of their community. They fear difference.
