The Chrysalids

Basically that telepathic people were an improvement on normal people, and savages didn't matter.

The Zealanders are a mysterious group of people who live on the other side of the world from the main characters who live in Labrador.

They are more technologically advanced than the people of Labrador and possess flying machines. A portion of the Zealander population is telepathic, and they nurture this skill.

Hitler was the leader of a much larger community and had a lot more power. Joseph Strorm had to respect the inspector and the government approval of the divergent horses, for instance. Joseph was trying to be better at fanaticism in a culture that celebrated fanatacism, and Hitler empowered underlying racial hatred, fanned the flames, and thought genocide was the answer. Joseph didn't have many redeeming qualities, but even as a fictional character, Joseph is the better man, if only because he had a more limited ability to destroy.

Because the horses were bigger, stronger, and faster than most horses... in other words, deviant mutants, and he truthfully believed that any deviation from the norm was evil.

Tribulation

Angus Morton is the neighbour of Joseph Stororm

Uncle Axel advises David to keep his abilities a secret in order to protect himself from persecution. This advice is good because in their society, anyone displaying deviations from the norm is seen as a threat and is often killed or banished. By keeping his telepathic abilities hidden, David can avoid being targeted and potentially stay safe.

Nope.

The setting is post-apocalyptic Earth where apparently we dropped some nuclear weapons and only disparate groups of people in remote locations survived.

Well....

The mutants in the chrysalids were driven out of Waknuk into the Fringes because of their appearance in which there was a large chance they could die. This shows that the people of Waknuk basically wanted to drive anything that they thought was not "Pure" or "Right" simply out of their living area.

Similar to this, the Natzis did the same thing during World War II to the Jews, although this was not mainly due to their appearance. The case during world war II was a bit more extreme though seeing as the Natzis were killing the Jews because it was their belief that they should not be part of the population, just like the people of Waknuk think about the deviations and mutants in 'The Chrysalids'

All in all, both events are similar to each other because they both encounter a population or leading group that does not approve of a certain feature on a person, weather its physical or not, and they try to drive them out of their lives.

Waknuk represents weakness because its peace can be destroyed so easily. Instead of maintaining cohesion through change, it rejects change completely, and even minor deviations threaten the community. The deviations, symbolically and literally, control them because they react to them without stopping to think about it or decide whether the change is good or bad. A strong community would be able to adapt to differences, and maintain cohesion.

If deviant crops were found in a field, that field was burned. People still survived on what was in the other fields... but theoretically, if ALL the crops had been deviant, then they could have starved rather than accepting any sort of deviance.

He dreams that his father is going to slaughter Sophie like some mutant animal. Sophie begs for mercy and help, but receives none from the devout people who sing a hymn to God. The irony is that in the Christian faith, God is merciful and loves all creatures, yet these people are the opposite. David's father then kills Sophie by cutting her throat. The symbolism is that Sophie is the innocent lamb, like Jesus, who is sacrificed by a troop of people who have missed the point about the Bible. David's father, who believes he is doing perfect good, is actually evil, under the guise of strict religion. The dream is foreboding because it warns the reader that Sophie is in real danger.

assuming you are talking about The Chrysalids, it is a book that the people of Waknuk treat like the bible. It basically states a bunch of different guidelines for them to follow.

I think there is hope in Uncle Axel's relationship with David. David trusts him, and uncle Axel doesn't betray that trust. I think there is hope in David's relationship with Sophie as well. Sophie trusts David, and David doesn't betray her. There is hope in the bond between the telepaths. They communicate and support each other. ... There is some hope in the communication with Zealand. A lot of hope for the telepaths, but none for uncle axel or anyone on the fringe. No hope that the world will change... just hope that the telepaths have found a place to belong.

A bad place

David questions his community's definitions and ethics, including the definition of blasphemy, because his experience has shown him that there is a different way. Sophie is his first encounter with a deviant... and she is cool, and becomes his best friend. He sees how her family is different from his, and he wants that rather than what he has. Then he sees the community destroy that which he has learned to love. There are other examples... his uncle's views about his own difference, and that secrecy is best, his observation of his father's brother when he is captured and he sees him in Waknuk, and his observation of what happens to his aunt and her daughter.

Sophie Wender lived in the Fringes

The Bible was a big influence on the people in the book, presumably, because it was the only book that survived the apocalypse. But it didn't really seem that it had a large influence. The other book that they mention is the one that talked about having to be pure in form and the exact details of God's image, etc... and that stuff isn't in the Bible.
