Beka Lamb and The Chrysalids are similar, as they both evoke the theme of friendship. Beka's best friend was Toycie, in which they could both confide with each other. With the case of Toycie's pregnancy, Beka withheld this information from the rest of the society in order to keep her best friend from being shunned from society.

This was also the case with David and his friend Sophie. In the society in which David lived, those who did not have the "normalcy" of the others around them were said to be deviants. David knowing of Sophie's faults, also withheld this information, to protect his dear friend from being sent away to the fringes or to go in exile.

The theme of religion is also shown here, as with Toycie, after the finding out of her pregnancy, she was expelled from the school, seeing that it was Catholic. In The Chrysalids, The people of Waknuk, specifically, David's father, leader of the Waknuk society have strong rules/laws against blasphemy, of which Sophie was one.......
