Flatland Summary: Chapter 6

This section threw me off pretty hard. Mostly because the narrator likes to tell his stories like a kid in the first grade, bouncing from subject to subject. At first he implied (strongly) that it is difficult to identify individuals.

Apparently everyone tells each other just by looking at each other. But it's not that simple either. A man can appear to be a woman at first glance if he does not show his angle. In addition to that, feeling is discouraged umong the youth because it creates bad habits. In short, this story leaves me with more questions than The Dark Knight Rises and just as angry. 

Flatland Chapter 3 Summary

In chapter three, we take a look at the different social classes in Flatland. Women are straight lines, while men vary in different shapes according to their social class. Lower class and military are triangles with two equal sides, and a base of an inch. Middle class are equilateral triangles. As we go up in wealth, the more sides are added. There are sometimes pentagons, hexagons, and sometimes even octagons. When a person becomes so rich, that the angles become indistinguishable, they become a circle and obtain priestly order. Offspring are added an angle every generation
