In this reading, Alex got to his cell just in time when the dog was about to give him a bite. Alex was saved from the dogs but not from the skull. The next day they weren't allowed food because of the incident. A few day later their labor was to work at the kitchen, Alex learned how to create the meal for everyone. In that night when they were sleeping, a siren turns on and didn't stop. Some people in a mask came to the cells and mark them with a cross. One of them stepped outside of Alex´s cell and he could see that the gas mask was attached to his face. The suit guys went to the cells that were marked and took a kid from each one, Donovan said that it was better to die than to be caught by them. The next day Alex Start talking about escaping.
“You want a big reward for rescuing helpless little Monty? Well, you're not getting one… Now we're not even allowed any food. A whole day. It´s your fault.” (Gordon 121).
I don't understand what the kid who Alex had saved his life didn't thank him. He doesn't even thank him but he is blaming him for the punishment that they have. If I was Monty I will be thanked Alex for life for what he just did. I will like to have the guts that Alex has.
“‘They're attached to their faces,’ I told him. ‘The masks. I saw it last night. The metal is sewn into their skin.’”(Gordon 154)
What? How is that even possible. Can does strange things exist? Why will somebody permit that? I have lots of questions like if they are scientists or they are the lab rats.
After finishing reading this chapters I was pretty shocked, I was also imagining a clear picture of this men and I had a hard time getting them out of my mind. I really like how the author creates this suspense by leaving everything open, most of the things in Furnace are not explained. I want to continue reading to know how this person got this masks sewn to their faces and why. I don't think If my prediction will be right but Alex will have another reunion with this men with the masks.
