Today in class we read chapter 2 and met Byron, Brown, and Christmas along with other characters like Ms. Burden. Each one seems to keep to themselves and no one really knows much about them. In the end of the chapter, Lena and Byron are talking about Brown. Lena seems suspicious of Brown, I think she believes Brown is really Lucas Burch. Anyone else?
I completely agree, but shouldn't Brown(if he is Lucas Burch) be aware of what he is doing and realize that he has a child on the way? Does he know he has a child in the way?
ReplyDeleteYes I'm pretty sure he knows, remember when Lena refused to tell her brother who got her pregnant? She said something along the lines of "He said he'll send for me."
DeleteI agree with Pamela, I'm pretty sure he knows because I do remember Lena saying something like that.
DeleteI think Byron, Christmas, Burden, and Lena all have a connection. They're all isolated from the community either due to their past or their choice. What I wonder is how Lena Grove, a patient and calm character, can get pregnant by Joe Brown.
ReplyDeleteI agree because at the end of the chapter you see Lena asking more questions about Brown. Also how she asked Byron if he had a White scar above his lip.
