- Why might this theory, that children who do not survive are actually evil spirits, make sense to the tribe?
- What did you find most challenging about chapter 9? Why? What did you find most interesting? Why?
I think that this theory makes sense to the tribe because when a child dies during birth, their culture and religion makes them believe that they are evil spirits. The thing I found challenging about chapter 9 was most of it because it felt foreign to me. It felt foreign because there were stories about miscarriages about people with names that are foreign to me. It was foreign to me since there were a lot of names that do not sound like names I hear everyday. The thing I found interesting was the fact that a stone could save a child. It was interesting because a stone buried in the ground could save someone.
