Last class we read Marrow Thieves - Page 138-146 "The Long Stumble"

Journal Entry: Regarding the last paragraph on page 145 - Miig's quote - last paragraph - page 145.

Journal Question – The Long Stumble

Miigwans tells Frenchie that “sometimes the path in front of you alters” and may lead through “pretty dark territory,” but that what matters most is that it doesn’t “change the intent of the trip.”

Question: What does Miigwans mean by “the path” and “the intent of the trip” as metaphors?
What is he trying to help Frenchie understand about the difficult choices he may have to make, and how does this advice prepare Frenchie for leadership and survival in their world?

Use the quote to support your FULL paragraph response and explain how this message applies to Frenchie’s journey so far. Ensure you have an intro, supporting points (including one quote) and concluding statement. 


Journal Entry Question: Due in class - then add to your Journals.
