Activity 7.2.2 – Chapter 11: Saul in Residential School
Make a submission
Read Chapter 11 and answer the following questions:
- As he is being driven to St Jerome’s Residential School, Saul feels “lonely for the sky.” (p. 43) What does that suggest about his values, and about his new reality?
- At the school the boys are stripped, scrubbed, disinfected and their hair is cut off. Why are the nuns supposed to be doing this - what do you think is their practical justification - and what does Saul think is the REAL reason? (pp. 44)
- After she has beaten Lonnie, Sister Ignacia’s mouth curves into a slight “grin” and she looks “beatific.” (p.47) Look up what this word in the glossary. What do these details tell us about her character?
