WEEK 5

This week I had the role of Discussion Director.

with my questions

we talked about what we thought the law is, and we think that it's if anyone from Prentisstown isn't allowed in any of the other settlements.

We did not expect to see Ben there, but him more than Cillian

Doctor Snow is pretty good, he didn't want to follow through on the law right away.

The reason why the settlements dislike Prentisstown might have to do something with them not having woman there.

Haven is probably still there

Someone spoiled it for some of us, and Grace guessed that someone was going to die, but all in all we didn't really think that Manchee would die.

We think 'the boy' was a haluteionantion of the voice in the back of Todd's head telling him he can't do it.

All Aaron did was probably was drug Viola and do some rituals and stuff like that.

Gabbi looked up the name Aaron, and Aaron was a priest, the brother of Moses, and someone told him to sacrifice a big animal to please the God and later he told everyone to bring one goat to sacrifice for the same reason, and that reminded her of how the woman and how they might have died, and how he wanted to perform a ritual on Viola

"I will punish the wicked" is another like from the bible, not a direct quote but similar. 

couching up green goo is a sign of bronchitis or lung infection, so that's probably what led to his sickness.

hallucinations are a side effect of a really bad fever, so that's probably what the hallucinations are from.

Grace shared that there is a sting bond between todd and manchee, because in the beginning it was shown that he didn't really like Manchee.

the word coward keeps showing up in the book, because everyone in prentisstown thinks he's a coward, and because he can't kill, he's too cowardly.

the hallucination is basically him admitting to himself that he can't kill.

"Todd?" Is the last thing that Machee has ever said, and this pops up a lot, and it makes Todd feel sad about basically killing him

Gabbi said that it reminds her of the song that Ben would sing "Don't leave me" and it's come up a lot in the story, when Viola was taken by Aaron, and when Manchee died, and Ben was singing it when Todd found him, so the song could be part of the theme in the book, because a theme is supposed to be present throughout the whole story, like the song.
