The main character is Eli. Eli is still wondering about if his dad will let him & his brother ad sisters leave. Eli found out his father wants all of them to be like him. He also wants to know if his brother and grandmother are still alive. The time is in the future and they are still in the compound with his mother and sisters. His father wants them to stay where it is "safe". He's been keeping them there by telling them lies that the world has been destroyed and that the compound is the only safe place. My reflection is why is the father being so mean not to let them out even though the world is suppose to be fine.
One of the signpost that keeps coming up all the time is a Memory Moment. I found the memory moment in chapter 9 and 10 Eli remembers when his grandmother and brother were camping with him. Chapter 11 I just read has another memory moment was when he remembered his brother. When I reading he was talking to his sisters when he remembered about their camping trip. He remembers his brother because he found his favorite food. I think why he thought about this is when his sister was talking to him about their father, then he suddenly remembered about his brother and grandmother. Maybe because when his brother was with him they were able to not get in trouble. like his brother always looked out for him and helped him. His grandmother was always there to help them out and get what they forgot for their trips. She was always there to help fix a problem.
