The People of Santary “Hello, Mrs. Spire,” said Callie, making sure she was being polite in front of the mayor. “Are you feeling okay? Because you look a little angry, and I just wanted to make sure that the city of Vancantion was all right and—” “Slow down. Everything is okay. I was just concerned with one person in particular,” said Teresa, looking mad and upset; that is why Callie came to check on her. Strange, Callie thought, because when Teresa said she was concerned with one person, she looked just as mad as she had looked before. At home, she was still puzzling about the mayor and what she was concerned about. The next morning, Callie felt so much different than she had the day before. She was seeing all-green people out her window. She asked her father if he noticed the change …show more content…
The lead person was named Lucian and told Callie all about how they are the guardians of cities and what they do to protect the cities. After days and days of chatting, Lucian told her bad news that Callie couldn’t believe was true, but she knew it had to be. This was what Teresa had been mad about weeks ago. Lucian told her that one of the people who could see the people of Santary was Teresa Spire, and that she was concerned that Lucian and his group were controlling Vancantion, so she was getting very angry. The people of Santary were getting worried about how they were going to defend against Teresa and the army that she was getting ready. Wanting to protect her new friend, Callie went to Mrs. Spire’s office and told Teresa that she found out about the people of Santary and what Teresa wanted to do to them, but Teresa said that she was too late. “I have an army of the other people who can see those people of Santary, and they are on their way to their castle above the clouds. You can’t save them now, Callie. They have no way of defending themselves. They are
people who lived in the ghetto. Then one day, Alicia found out that her brother Bunio had

Looking out across the stone-paved road, she watched the neighborhood inside the coffee colored fence. It was very similar to hers, containing multiple cookie-cutter homes and an assortment of businesses, except no one was there was her color and no one in her neighborhood was their color. All of them had chocolate skin with eyes and hair that were all equally dark. Across the road to her right, a yellow fence contained honey colored people. She enjoyed seeing all the little, squinted almond eyes, much smaller then her own, which were wide set and round. One little, sunshine colored boy with dark straight hair raised his arm and waved his hand, but before she could do the same back her father called her into the house. His lips were pressed and his body was rigid, the blue of his eyes making direct contact with her
purpose; she flees from him. He then sees the souls of those who died in battle.
As the minutes tick down to his death, Poncelet begins to break down and his lack of remorsefulness dissolves. His only comfort is Sister Helen and his newly found forgiveness from the Bible. We can once again feel the pain that overcomes Poncelet as he fully grasps what is about to happen. Then, when the restrained Poncelet is displayed in front of the witnesses, including Mr. and Mrs. Percy and Mr. Delacroix, he asked if he has any last words. Poncelet states that he refuses to die with hate in his heart and apologizes to the devastated families. This scene becomes even more upsetting when you see Poncelet and Sister Helen mouthing ‘I love you’ to each other and when Helen reaches her arm out to comfort Poncelet as the first set of lethal drugs are injected.
At this time, Thomas and Ann Putnam come into the story and talk to Parris saying that their daughter Ruth has become sick too. Ann admits to sending Ruth to Tituba the slave, because he knows how to talk to the dead and she could find out who murdered her seven children that died while they were infants. When the adult leave, Abigail talks about Betty's illness with Mercy Lewis and Mary Warren who are servants of the Putnams..

Although Sula, Nel, and Helene were all running from their past, it finally caught up to them. Sula as much as she did not like her other, became like her by becoming the town whore and sleeping around with the married men of Medallion. Nel who throughout the novel tried to break the social conscience shell her mother put her in, wound up worrying what the town would think of her. Helene Wright went back to Louisiana and was forced to look her mother in the eyes. By running away from their past and their emotions they were forced to encounter them in much more difficult situations than if they were to have faced their feelings head on.

The Carmelites were forced no longer wear their habits, but plain clothes instead. Similarly, the Carmelites dressed the statue of the Infant Jesus with plain clothes in hopes to disguise it when they ship it to the Dauphin. Afraid of martyrdom, Blanche flees the convent and returns to her father’s house; she ran right into the heart of her fear. Her father is killed by revolutionaries, and as she stands over his dead body, a revolutionary spots her. He soon realizes that she is a nun, and forces her to receive “communion”, but instead of receiving the Blood of Christ, she is forced to drink to blood of the people slain by the revolutionaries. According to Villeroi, “Blanche at that moment, embodied her martyred country…” She was taken by the “September Mothers”, thus falling right into the hands of her foes. Likewise, the Revolutionaries intercepted the package containing the Infant King, and it too, fell right into the hands of the foes. The Carmelites expected this to happen, as their motivation of sending the package was to get the Dauphin martyred, as they themselves wanted to be martyred. This hope for martyrdom was what led Blanche to flee the convent. The Carmelites are now being brought to the scaffold, and Blanche is present there against the crowd. After the last nun is martyred, Blanche, still in the crowd, carries on their song. The
The arrival of winter was well on its way. Colorful leaves had turned to brown and fallen from the branches of the trees. The sky opened to a new brightness with the disappearance of the leaves.

Rosaura, disgusted with Senora Ines’ tone, picked herself up, grimacing and uttered in a trembling voice, “I hate you.”
As much as she dislikes it, she can't help but feel the burning gazes of the bystanders left behind. As all the chatter has died down, the only thing that is left is the pounding unanswered questions aimlessly swirling around in the population's heads. She can tell that they're all indiscriminately rasping about mindless perspectives as to why this bloodied, grime-covered and dangerously held stranger is precariously dragging herself into this established town. Curiosity, as well as dread and fear washes off them as they watch her pass by each and every one of them, heading directly to the end of the road. Avory doesn't blame them. If she were in their position, she would also feel these things if she were to catch an unfortunate glimpse of an animalistic-like dirty human being covered in leaves and mud stagger into the home she'd accommodated herself with. She expediently looks as if she were to be classed as the number one most wanted criminal in the United States of America, assumably labelled as a mentally insane patient belonging to the institution responsible for caging the
"The person said something bad occurred at Sally's, and I should hurry. I hope one of those—those malfunctions she’s always helping didn’t hurt her. You know how she is. Everyone’s tried to warn her, but she won't listen."
