 * 1) 1. Why did the mother kill herself? If the man and boy survived so long, couldn’t she?
 * 2) 2. Why does the father not care for the other little boy if they are the good guys?
 * 3) 3. Why doesn’t the father try to get the dog? It would be good fresh food
 * 4) 4. How can they survive if they have one bullet and no food?

Week #3 - Literary Luminary
 * 1) "And we're carrying the fire." "And we're carrying the fire" (129) - i picked this quote more because i had a question about what is the fire? what does it symbolize?
 * 2) "Huddled against the back wall were naked people, male and female, all trying to hide, shielding their faces with their hands." (110) This was to show the aspect of the bad side, and more of a way to show the boy that the father is correct in his decisions.

Week #5 - Vocabulary Miser


 * 1) Hamlet - a small village
 * 2) Corrugate - wrinkled, furrowed
 * 3) Sepulchre - Tomb or grave

Week #6 - Literary Luminary


 * 1) "I'll talk to you everyday, he whispered, and i won't forget, no matter what." (286) I choose this because it shows the strength and love of the father and son's relationship.
 * 2) "Take your clothes off. What? Take them off. Every goddamned stitch." (256) This quote was interesting because he is hurting a man just trying to survive. Is the father really still a good guy?
