leavers: the ones who accumulate spiritual knowledge in the hands of the gods resulting in evolution; beings that belong to this world, believe there is more than one way; interested in the well being of people
takers: the alleged owners of the world, living in their own, acquire material knowledge with destruction, know good and evil, believe they are god-like, the “civilized” people who want to apply one right way and live by that one law; interested in production for the sake of production

I think that that this text is correct because, that is like what i think the definicion is.
this are the complements i wouls suggest for the definitions:
Leavers: I would add that they are not only interested in the well being of people, but animals and living things in general. They adapt to what nature provides for them.
Takers: I would add that they are beings that promote themselves as the ultimate being, preventing further evolution wich could make them better.
the definitions are well, but for the Takers I would add that the world belongs to them.
I think the definitions are correct.
I would add for takers that they are not in position to evolve.
Leavers are in position to evolve
I agree with everything on the definition. I would add though that the leavers were made for this world.
I like the definitions, but for the Taker's, i would also add that they think that evolution has stopped because it got to human
I would add that the takers conquer nature while leavers are interested in the well being of life in general and they accept how nature works.
I have to say, that I agree with the defintions, they cover what Ishmael has said about both takers and leavers throught the novel.
I would agree with most of the definitions, except for the Leavers definition I would rather find it more complete if the last sentence would be completed with the fact that they do not only care for the well being of people but as well for the environment and for animals in coexistence.
I agree with all the definitions. But I would like to add one more definition for the takers: They believe that they would be in complete control over the world someday if they keep conquering it.
The definitions are basically in accordance with the text but I would change some aspects:
Leavers:I would add that they live inside the Peace Keeping Law which permits them to evolve. They live in competition, butt not in war.
Takers: Live outside of the Peace Keeping Law, in war with the community. And as well, I would take out the part of "acquire material knowledge with destruction". I think they don't acquire knowledge that destroys the world but I think that their way of living outside the law is what destroys the world, not their knowledge.
Apart of being interested in the well being of people I would also add that they care for the well being of the world and the rest of the creatures that live in it. Also I think that the Takers don’t belive that they have to obey laws; that’s why they are their own gods.
