Write a short description of David's group - is there a "leader"? Are there any rivalries?
David's group is a mish-mash of people from all around the Waknuk area, from all different walks of life.
I feel there is two leaders, both David and Michelle. But no rivalry, for they are in a joint leadership. David is the head on, with the group leader. While Michelle is the one who gives the clear headed and thought out plans or suggestions.
David's "group" is a group of people who all consist of the same "gift." They each are able to send what they call 'thought pictures' to one another in order to communicate when needed. Each is slightly fearful of being found out by the norms, and therefore do what they can to remain secretive about what would be considered a 'defect,' by the citizens of Waknuk.
When it comes to a specific leader of the group, the question asked places ownage to David through the wording of "David's group." In my opinion, both David and Rosalind could be seen as almost the leaders of the telepathic bunch. They seem to be the ones who help the others the most, as well as tell them what to do, in a sense. As for rivalries, I do not feel as though there are any huge threats, besides the fear of being found out by the norms. It's them, against the world.
David's group consist of Katherine, Michael, Rachel, Anne, David, Rosalind, Petra, sally, and Mark. Michael is the wisest. He gives good advice to anothers and spies on Waknukians. Howeverr, Rachael is a problem because there are more girls and boys. Rachael decides to marry with Alan, who is normal, even though he endangers them. But others are friends.
Their group is 9 random kids throught Waknuk and naboring farms that have all developed the ability to comunicate through thought-pictures.
I would not say that there is a leader. I agree with connor that Michael and David are looked up to and maby asked for advice by the others, but in this group when they are all thinking together putting in their own ideas and oppinions together there is no real leader. There is no rivalries because they all listen to one another so why fight for a status that dose not mean anything.
