Digital Chapter Boiiiiii

In this particular rendition of the alternate ending of the chrysalids that I co-created (shocking i know, looks almost too legit.) I decided to pick up immediately where the story left off. So the setting is still in a fish shaped aircraft in which Rosalind, David, the Sealand lady and Petra are all aboard. The story ends by Rosalind saying "it is" which seemed to me like a peculiar way to end a novel, so I decided that rosalind was not yet done what she was going to say when she took an arrow to the knee... I mean throat. This is also a demonstration of one of the main motifs in the story which is indoubtedly death. Which happens so often in the litterary adventure that I felt the need to have 2 people die :) . Furthermore since it was implied multiple times during the story that david and rosalind had feelings for each other i felt it was almost a crime  to end the novel without any character outwardly confessing there love and leaving us with a brutal cliffhanger. Thus cementing the need to add the cheezy hollywood ending.

ps: Spiderman was not harmed in the making of this comic

JOSEPH STRORM

In the novel The Chrysalids by John Wyndham the Antagonist of the story, Joseph Strorm, the father of Petra and David, is a very deep and complex character. Although loved by his family and greatly respected by the community of Waknuk the  author demonstrates that Joseph adopts a rather harsh orthodox manner of parenting his children. As example in the story Joseph is shown to be a harsh disciplinarian (p51-52) when it is evident that he beat David in order for his son to tell them the whereabouts of Sophie Wender. Another characteristic of Joseph is he is very hot as well as quick tempered, (p26) when David mentions that he could've tied the rag to his bleeding hand if he'd had another hand his father appears to almost instantly snap, "You - my own son - were calling upon the devil to give you another hand!". Intolerance is also a very present attribute in Joseph Strorm as he seems content to destroy anything that he and his religion considers different (p19) "As the sun rose we would sing a hymn while my father(Joseph) ceremonially slaughtered the two-headed calf, four-legged chicken or whatever other kind of offence it happened to be."

                                                                                

Joseph in many ways enhances the Intolerance and fear that is abundant amongst the people of waknuk, his views are very rigid and inflexible as well as his rules very strict.
