The Chrysalids: The Importance of Telepathy  Some people dream about having an ability to communicate through mental telepathy. Some even claimed to have this ability but it played an important role in the novel The Chrysalids. The author created an interesting environment. There was no communication and the only people who could communicate between each other were the ones that had the power of telepathy. Because in some areas the land was so dangerous because of the radiation that people were cut of from another and left on a small piece of land. They could not communicate. Though-shapes not only developed the plot of the story but greatly affected the lives of some characters and might affect Waknuk.    We all know that people in Waknuk were very superstitious but did it actually help the plot to develop?  On page 91 through 103 finally and idea gets out about some people being able to communicate through thought-shapes.
