Lecture 7.2.1 - Chapter 10: Winter Survival
Lecture Overview
In this lecture, we will be reading Chapter 10 to bottom of page 37 as well as reviewing Chapter 8 & 9.
Review:
Chapters 8 - In the aftermath of Benjamin’s death, Naomi and Mary begin to argue. This shows how family tragedies can tear a family apart instead of bringing it together. Mary’s accusation seems misplaced, a product of her understandable grief and frustration. Unbeknownst to Saul, this is the last time he’ll ever see his parents. However, he senses that something is about to go wrong, perhaps suggesting that he really does have the gift of “vision.”
Chapter 9 - It is never explained what happens to Saul’s parents after they leave Saul and Naomi, but Saul and Naomi have no choice but to move on, or risk freezing to death in the cold of winter.
