I am reading Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James patterson. Max is suprised at how her "flock" doesn't listen to her anymore. they are 98% human and 2% avain. they are human bird hybrids. as she is the leader of the group they used to do whatever she says but now they want to have a home and stop running. Max doesn't want to because she says she has to save the world. the thing is that her flock is changing and she doesn't like it.
from what i have read so far is that all the flock (except max) agree with fang that they hide and find a home. i think i can understand why. when you live the the way they do always on the run, not knowing who to trust except each other. it gets tiring. while Max knows she has to save the world i think the rest of the flock is being a bit selfish. as Max points out that if the rest of the world is destroyed then they won't have things like cable. also max says that if the world is destroyed then they will be fried by the sun for the lack of oxygen.
as i said before the flock with the exception of max are all changing. they want to stop running and now they listen to max as much. but all change is not good. in my opinon they have became so tired of being on the run that they want to find a home. fang tells max let the whitcoats destroy world. they should be out of their equation. but Max says that she feels like she has to save the world.
people always change. that is something they can't really control. just as max can't control her flock changing we can't control that either.

Wow, this was a really great response. I really like how you really elaborated on your opinion. One line that really stood out to me was, "people always change. That is something they can't really control. Just as max can't control her flock changing, we can't control that either." It's a really great line because you related it to people and life, and to the book.
