I know it's late...
but for all of the students (zero?) who will read this before the quiz, then I hope this helps.
I have about 4 quotes, all dealing with Nathan.
Rachel, 341----"Ruth May peed in her pants just because Father coughed out on the porch."
They fear their dad. Actual fear of his wrath. Nathan is a di...jerk, and this shows it clearly.
Rachel, 488 and 485----talking about Nathan, " I guess I was scared of seeing him as a crazy person. The tales got wilder and wilder as the years went by. That he'd had five wives, who all left him for example."
"He'd gotten a very widespread reputation for turning himself into a crocodile and attacking children."
The five wives being the price girls, and baptisim being the crocodile's charm to kill children, Nathan became what he was trying to avoid the most, a myth. Everything he did was in vain. Ruth May died for nothing. He went to the Congo to save, and lost his family while making a himself a scary story for the campfire. A tad ironic. Also, relating how Nathan is the government, all the wrongs he did were sort of forgotten. No one, aside from Nathan (gov.) remembers what really happened. I guess this shows the part on ignorance and how we chose to forget rather then learn from mistakes.
