The silo was something she had always taken for granted. The priests said it had always been there, that it was lovingly created by a caring God, that everything they would ever need had been provided for. Juliette had a hard time with this story.

Part 4: The Unraveling

This still very much has my interest, but it's not exactly what I was expecting, and I want to know where it's going.

The clouds were low and ominous today. They loomed like worried parents over these smaller darting eddies of windswept soil, which tumbled like laughing children, twirling and spilling, following the dios and valleys as they flowed toward a great crease where two hills collided to become one.

I have never read about clouds being described like this!

Very early on, the author subtly raised questions about the quality of life, and if it would be in the character's best interest (any character, not just Holston,) to step outside of the silo or remain isolated. Howey does this in such a smooth way that it actually was more effective being inexplicit.
