Event 3

The third event is in chapter 6. The "New Ones", a term for new people coming to Village, are being greeted at the entrance of Village. Many people are greeting them and welcoming them to their new home, but that turns for the worse. A rebellion lead by Mentor come along, "with Mentor leading them- cam forward, chanting, "Close. Close. No more. No more" (Lowry chap 6). After this, Leader comes to the scene and welcomes the "New Ones"  while he peacefully tells the chanting group to go away. This is important because it shows the conflict of the story progressing and the climax coming closer. In the text it talks about Mentor and says, "His voice sounded different, Matty noticed. He saw that Leader, too, was noticing something about Mentor and was puzzled." (Lowry, chap 6). This shows how the conflict is progressing. The characters that were once protagonists changed into greedy antagonists and, the remaining characters are left puzzled by the sudden change.
