They think they are better and superior, because they are civilized.
2. How has the relationship between Ishmael and the protagonist changed?
Their relationship is beginning with a little bit of tension. The teacher, Ishmael, is telling the student that he is a taker. Ishmael is picturing the Takers as bad, egocentric people. The student is a "Taker", so he takes what Ishmael says as offensive. Since the protagonist feels offended, you can infer that he is disliking Ishmael a little bit.
3. Make 2 inferences regarding the "Leaver".
- The leaver is the good, innocent guy
- The leavers are victims of the "Takers" supression upon them.
I think Mother Culture and the story is based on society. Society is represented in the book as story, because we all make part of the story (society) while following mother culture's rules. By following Mother Culture's rules, the people are taught to develop a certain perspective on life and their surroundings.
