Natalie's response to Ryan C

Unlike Ryan I did not feel like this chapter was superfluous instead I think it gives the reader more insight into the government and K. I agree with Ryan that one of the most important parts of this chapter is K.'s sympathy towards the policemen. This reaction is very different from the K. we see in the majority of the novel and it reveals a different side to him. I think Ryan's correlation between K and the policemen is very interesting and I agree with him. K and the policemen are similar because they show the injustices in the government and the way they carry out their processes. K was perceived and guilty from the moment he is arrested, similarly the policemen are guilty from the moment K makes his statement. In both cases there does not seem like there is anything they can do to escape their inevitable fate. Similar to Ryan I questioned why the policemen were being punished in a closet in a bank, but the events that transpire in this novel are so random that I quickly dismissed it.
