The Chrysalids - Discrimination

John Wyndham's "The Chrysalids" is an innocent boy with a telepathic ability to live in an anti-mutation society. That boy, David faced several challenges. The subject of this novel is discrimination, as you can see from the background of Waknuk Society, Joseph Strom and the book. The society of Waknuk is taught to obey God's law and "human definition". Because they are afraid they will be punished otherwise.

Discrimination is a problem because cockroaches are mainly discrimination. David is worried that other people will discover the secret of his telepathy. Sophie, the character introduced in the first part of the book, had to escape from the village because she had an abnormal toe. This is related to today's society as many Muslim women are discriminated in countries like Afghanistan. They were forced to wear clothes from head to toe, and they did not have equal rights with men. Because somebody is excluded from activities due to weight and height, it is also very easy.

Discrimination has caused and still causes war between the state and the people. It can happen in both "kite runner" and "pupa". Discrimination was everywhere when the Taliban decided to take over Afghanistan. The Taliban thinks they are better than any other in the country. This caused war in Afghanistan. In addition to themselves, the Taliban discriminates against everyone. As he hated Hazzara, Assef joined Taliban. "Afghanistan is like a beautiful mansion filled with garbage, someone has to throw trash." (Hosseini, 298)

Discrimination in today's society is a major problem in all parts of the world, whether for or against the lack of individuals that cause religious intolerance. In the book "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham, this story reveals the world of genetic mutation. The Waknuk district is a community that separates itself from things that they believe are deviant or those that do not follow the explanation of God's "real image". The Waknuk community expressed dissatisfaction with the people of the fringe, as he was afraid of what they believed to be mutants of "devil". Their community is very strict and does not tolerate any change. Because of their religious value, they need to clean up and clean up all deviations, reflecting the Waknuk community.
