Charlie has a interesting perspective on the book that makes me want to read his post and after that go to Barnes& Nobels and buy that book to read. He takes completely fictional character and and brings the problems of the books world into correlation with real problems such as racism, and slavery.
The book issues seem to plague the entire orc cast of the book Because if they fight to the death the influx of orcs would have to be constant so villages are most likely to be raided normally. I can tell if this practice has been going on for a while i am sure orcs had enough common sense to move but this might only increase the suffering and stress they go through in the raids, their captors having to drag then a longer distance becoming more and more surly as the journey continues. The fact the the main character escaped means that it will be plotting revenge because any creature that has ever endured the abuse the character has would seek retribution.
I see how this translates back into slavery, and racism. Racism the creatures capturing the orcs have a certain hatred or feeling of supremacy towards them and feel the need to pit them against each other almost like in the hunger games where people are gathered against their will by a huge impossible to fight force and are force to fight each other to the death. I see slavery in the way the are captured, tortured until they fight o the death, and generally mistreated.
