2. "They sat in judgement." (pg. 1)

The idea of judgement is mentioned twice already, so I think it will have a major part in this book. It is probably a theme. Before, it mentions that the dead have "their eyes flung open in judgement" so this suggests that it is not just that people are being critical of others (they notice every little thing that a person does and are judging them, but don't even think about their own lives), but they are being judged too.
