Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott- Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is entitled "Concerning the Inhabitants of Flatland." Reading this chapter, I realized that this book is really weird! I mean really, it's kind of funny. Abbott goes on and on telling us about this world, Flatland: Where everyone and everything is two-dimensional shapes. It's quite interesting actually! In this chapter, he breaks down the different classes of people, shapes, in Flatland. There are straight lines, circles, squares, equlateral triangles, isosceles triangles, etc. Their shape determines their social status. This chapter was prety crucial because Abbott tells the reader about the basic social aristocracy in Flatland.
