post 8

while reading my book i came across a very interesting quote it reads "He just spoke out against his own leaders so casually i almost missed it. I wonder if that's the kind of place this is- where dissent can be expressed in public". I thought this was interesting because because it shows how important out freedom of speech really is (not to get to patriotic with you). Even though it was a slight nod from the reader it really stick in my brain for some reason. Because i started to think there are country's in the real world that cannot really say what they think in fear that they might be punished for it. I think things like that is what really makes me enjoy my book, little hints to problems in the real world through a world that is made up.
