The repentance “Watch thou for the Mutant” has a huge impact on David’s society. Everyone that lives in the community believe that all human beings should have one head, two arms and legs and five fingers and five toes. They do not accept anyone who is different from the description and do not consider them as humans. “The largest was the one on the back wall, hung to face the door which led to the yard…WATCH THOU FOR THE MUTANT” This shows that out of all the blasphemes, nothing can be worse than the sin of being born differently. I feel as though the repentance is a warning and a reminder to the people to watch out for those who are different and report them if they have been spotted.
“Watch thou for the Mutant” can also be seen in modern day. For example people tend to be friendlier to people that are closer to the image of “perfection” However the difference from David’s society and mine is that we still consider those who are different as humans, because in the end, everyone is different. If the blasphemy was hung up in the wall of my room, I believe that it would make an impact in my life. I would probably start to think more deeply about it and start to watch out for those who seem a bit dissimilar.
I predict that these Repentance will come to play in the novel as soon as David has deeper thoughts about all the blasphemes hung up on the walls. “WATCH THOU FOR THE MUTANT! faced me as I went in, but it was much too familiar to stir a thought” In chapter two, I believe that David doesn’t realize how big of a sin it is for Sophie to have six toes. David has seen the Blasphemy too many times to comprehend what it actually meant. I foresee that David will get caught one day while going to Sophie’s house and people will start to ask questions and David may spill the secret.
