With chapters alternating between the boy Peter's voice, and that of his pet fox Pax, readers find themselves immersed in this contemporary imagining of the Hero’s Journey, complete with a quest to unknown lands, challenges and trials along the way, a wise mentor, sacrifice and reward." ]]> 2017-04-10 02:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165592307 a_carter95 https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593192 Pax remembering when he had been with Peter when he was a kit by the tree he passed when he and Gray were by the river and War camp. ]]> 2017-04-10 02:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593192 a_carter95 https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593210 "Or maybe he just wanted to remember that once he had been a little boy, and he had read books and felt safe." Why do you think books made him feel safe? What was he in need of feeling safe from?  ]]> 2017-04-10 02:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593210 a_carter95 https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593238 The word "crazy" is repeated. One must wonder what the author is trying to communicate by this repeated word. ]]> 2017-04-10 02:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593238 a_carter95 https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593258 Was this woman crazy?

Your mom gets in a car to go buy groceries, a regular day, and she never comes home." This is important information because it gives insight to what happened when his mother died, and this gives insight to who Peter is and why.

Because he doesn't want to be like them, he needs to be aware and work hard not to be. He is learning this. ]]> 2017-04-10 02:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593316 a_carter95 https://padlet.com/a_carter95/mpv5f43nlt23/wish/165593360 We now know how Pax and Peter met each other and how Pax got his name.
