Chapter 94

.

Over the next two weeks Eve saw some mixed reations to president Mason's law. Some believed they were neccessary. Others felt Mason was obtaining too much power. Nadia and Amy both criticized Mason, but usually for different reasons. Amy didn't like gun-control food rationing, prize and wage freezing. However, Amy did approve of Mason being pro-choice on abortion and euthanasia. Nadia felt these things violated God's laws, she was less upset about gun control and rationing. Eve often felt stuck in the middle between her two friends. She just tried to get through each day. School, work, protesting outside the clinic, selling illegal contraband. On Novemer 18th mr Mendez told Eve that Ravenwood was making a promotional video. They wanted to demonstrate the importance of the company's shelters, and show employees the value of dedication to their jobs. Because Eve had demonstrated initiative during the garbage strike, and had been in the government Ark newsreel, Ravenwood wanted to use her for some scenes. Eve agreed to this, perhaps she really was slowly becoming a movie star. On Saturday November 19th a film crew followed Eve for a little while. They filmed her doing secretarial work. The director felt it needed something more, so he asked Eve to collect the trash, like she did during the strike. Eve collected the trash for the cameras. During her lunch the director asked Eve some questions. When asked why she colleted trash herself Eve simply replied "Someone had to." The director asked if Eve agreed with some of Mason's decisions she admitted she didn't agree with everything. She felt it was a bad idea for the government to sieze private shelters. The government had the right to build its own Arks, but individuals also had to right to protect themselves as best they could.
