Chapter 36 Summary

The event, which occurs simultaneously all over the country, is referred to as the Little Wyrming, a mass transformation of prepubescent and adolescent women. Though the number of women who dragon is not as large as the Mass Dragoning of 1955, the Little Wyrming results in many minors having nowhere to go, now that they are dragons. Fear pervades society to the point of segregation, with parents begging others to keep dragons away from their children. Older dragons come to take care of the fledgling dragons who have been displaced, and Mrs. Gyzinska sets up living situations for small communities to form. The official response, again, is to ignore the dragons. And, again, the dragons do not go away.

Interstitial Document #15 Summary

Dr. Gantz formerly addresses, once again, the House Committee on Un-American Activities on the return of dragons. He informs the members that they are now unable to deny dragons—because some now have family members who dragoned and didn’t leave their families. He begs the committee to just accept the dragons as they are and tells them that he does not have all the answers.
