Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 11 Summary: “The Robot Sleeps”

Roz watches the sun set in the ocean and sees the stars come out. She activates her headlights in the darkness, then dims them. She hears noises from the nocturnal animals.

Roz’s computer brain decides this is a good time to conserve energy, so she sits and her nonessential programs turn off.

Chapter 12 Summary: “The Storm”

Roz stays up on the mountaintop until one afternoon when she finds her view blocked by clouds. She hears rumbling and sees lightning in the sky. Rain starts to fall, so Roz unclamps her hands from the rocks and slides down the peak.

Roz runs through the fierce storm, looking for shelter. She falls and gets swept up by a mudslide. Roz slams into a pine tree and climbs the tree to escape the mud flow. She waits for the storm to pass.

Chapter 13 Summary: “The Aftermath”

The storm has passed, leaving flooding and mud everywhere. Roz falls repeatedly on wet rocks as she climbs downhill.

The animals had known the storm was coming and protected themselves. Roz realizes they are experts in survival and she is not. She is dented and dirty. Roz finds a hole in the side of the mountain which looks like a safe place for a robot.
