Thief Lord
Chapter 41 / pg.267
Book quotes: "They were all tired, but none of them fell asleep quickly. And even when they did, the bad dreams were already lurking underneath their pillows. Only Bo slept as peacefully as an angel, as if all his worries had come to an end that night."
--------------------------------------------------------
My notes: I understand why they were all having a hard time falling asleep because they had all been physically and emotionally drained. Bo had been found, but Prosper was missing now and this is only one of the bad dreams lurking under their pillows. I just love that line because it means so much to the story. All of the many things going on and the worries are literally under their pillows. It is ironic that Bo slept so peacefully because his worries were far from over, Prosper was gone. When Bo would wake up, that is when he would face his bad dreams.

I thought this part was really sad because it shows readers how much these kids have actually been through and witnessed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lauren. It's a shame that those poor kids had to deal with such adult issues. At a time when they should have been in school and playing with other children, they were having to learn to just survive.
