A Breath of Snow and Ashes Checkpoint 5
Now Discussing: 48 - 57
Assignment: Chapters 58 - 67 See List
Topic of the Week: Who did you think had been burning the homesteads? Didn’t you figure it was the Brown’s or Hodgepile’s gang? Jamie points out in 53 that it wasn’t. Regulators? Who do you think?
Thoughts and Topics:1. Malva plainly states that she has no intention of marrying. Doesn’t that seem strange to you?
2. What were your thoughts on the mysteries surrounding Malve and Allen’s parentage? (Jamie kind of figured Tom would have been in prison at the time of Allen’s conception.)
3. Jemmy kissing Jamie’s back to make it better and all the questions about who harmed him and whether or not he killed them all?
4. Who did you think the charm caster was? (burned bones on the flat rock)
5. What did you think about the whole Roger helping Amy situation and Bree’s reaction to him always helping other women, before the minister revelation? Roger saying he didn’t think she needed him?
6. Claire brings Aiden back to life. Tom’s reaction? Thoughts?
7. We start to see Roger taking on responsibility much like Jamie does. Roger feels he is able to help the tenants and wants to be a minister to do it and Jamie just sets out to help these people. It really seems like Roger is starting to come into his own with a little example from Jamie.
8. How did you feel about Bree’s eager and willingness to help Roger with becoming a minister?
9. I loved Roger in the tree with Jemmy, hooting.
10. When Flora MacDonald first meets Claire she has a strange shocked look on her face. What do you think that was about?
11. Neil Forbes glares openly at Bree at the party for Flora and then Jamie tar and feather’s him. Do we think there will be an issue with this man? Jamie seems so unconcerned by his anger.
12. Claire sticks a needle in Jocasta’s eye to relieve the pressure!!!!
13. The third man (The Seaman) with the Frenchman’s Gold comes again to see Jocasta. It has to be someone at the party. Do you have any speculations? It is a Scot.
14. Claire witnesses an argument (tenderly) between Ulysses and Jocasta. Do you think there is more there?
15. We learn the gold is disappearing. The Seaman do you think?
16. Donner comes to see Claire and Bree and then they let him be taken away to prison and possibly to be hanged without trying to help him. Do you think this was the right reaction? What are your thoughts when we discovered he escaped?
17. Donner told them Raymond was sending them back.
18. Claire goes to see Dr. Fentimen and we hear about a man who got shot in the privates and had to have a ball removed. Bonnet.
19. We meet Isaiah Morton’s first wife. Jezebel Hatfield Morton goes after Isaiah to kill him. After meeting her what do you think about Isaiah’s situation? (she has a bunch of brothers)
20. Doesn’t it seem like Aiden is looking to Roger as a father figure?
