I just finished reading "Year of the Flood" by Margaret Atwood and I have a few questions that need to be answered for help in classwork.

1. What are some examples of eco-terrorism in the book?

From what I remember there are only two examples. The creation and release of the virus to rid Earth of humans, other than Gods Gardners, by Crake. The other was a bombing of a corporate bioengineering facility. Are there any other examples?

2. How did the Gods Gardners know that the "waterless flood" was coming?

Since one of the leading members of God Gardners knew the person who would intern create the "waterless flood" (turns out to be a virus), I could say that it was planned in advance by both parties.

3. If there would be a third book in the series, what would it be about?

Well, I imagine it would be about how the Crakers, Jimmy (snowman), and the other survivors survive in the "new world".

Please help me with my thoughts, answers and ideas. I am using this information to write a seven papge extra credit paper. TIA
