Atmosphere

Part 2 begins on page 127: The fact there is a change in the weather is significant as the weather has been consistent up until now. The bad weather seems to be a warning to the boys that something important and possibly bad is going to happen. It not only changes but changes for the worse. 

Conflict

Read up until chapter 34

Remember that the Warden's solution is to  destroy all Zero's records and pretend that he never existed.
