1. Why do you think the preacher keeps referring to his wife's death with such great detail, in sermon and in thought?
2. Anne is upset with the preacher for spending all of his time talking about the government and trying to turn people against them. She then explains how he walked out on his own family, Why do you think he devoted his time away from his family and instead, to activism?
3. On page 216, Rosalie is introduced. Do you find it strange that a government as corrupt and oppressive as this allows women to hold any kind of superior rank, let alone any rank, in the Volunteers?
4. Had the preacher not attacked the fat man with the splintered leg of the chair, do you think he would have been released from the jail?
5. What kind of political statement do you think Danticat is trying to make in writing this novel?
