Section 7

In section 7 Ishmael asked the narrator if he could figure out what the law is that is followed invariably and has been for thousands of years, except by the "takers". When he first mentioned this I thought that he was referring to some type of law that deals with the respect of nature. Some examples could be using up all the resources in the world, taking over areas that are the habitat to animals and therefore causing the extinction of many species, and there are many more. I thought the analogy that Ishmael used about the A's, B's, and C's was also very interesting about how none of them ever even thought about running away even though they eat each other. This is also the first time I think that the narrator did not seem to completely agree with Ishmael because he felt depressed when he left.
