Event 5

Now, in chapter 10, the next event occurs. This event is when the villagers voted on closing the borders of Village. the reasons where interesting, considering the kind of place Village used to be. In the Text it says," We need all the fish for our selves. Our school is not big enough to teach their children, too only our own. They can't even speak right. We can't understand them. They have too many needs. We don't want to take care of them. And finally: We've done it long enough" (Lowry, chap 10). This long quote from Messenger are the reasons the people of Village want the borders to close. This is important because its right before of the climax of the novel and it is the cause of Matty going to find Kira at the climax. Since Village is closing, Seer's daughter can't come to Village. So, Matty sets off to get her and bring her back in time to live there. The events of this chapter where some of the most important.
