Chapters 11 and 12, still diggin it

Still no change in my enjoyment of this book. Although these chapters are much calmer, at least in comparison to the giant outburst of emotions and flames in the last few, the story continues to keep me captivated. What I did not expect to capture me as much was the tale of Penda. While it seemed to be a rather uninteresting story of a return into a different life. Yet, her aggressiveness, which she pertains while remaining fairly insensitive captivated me to great pleasure. The entirety of her conflict adds a next level of discourse into the society (as if there weren't enough). As such, she appears to interact with most of the groups. Her hatred for men (which I found interesting since she herself cannot answer the question why she hates them so much, at least not directly), her taking control of the women, and her aiding in the distribution of the food; all this serves to create an interesting character, and I look forward to the continuation of her story.

Chapter 12, I found to be of small importance, as I did not see too much depth in the conflict/interaction present. It was (to me) a fairly base interaction between a union leader and a french official, pertaining to the integrity of the union leadership, and the strength (or lack thereof) of the french government (due to them having to reach out to the union workers, in order to achieve anything.)
While this story did not capture my interest as much as the one of chapter 11, it still did not avert my interest and liking for the book.
