A Breath of Snow and Ashes Checkpoint 11
Now Discussing: Chapters 108 - 115
Assignment: Chapters 116 - End See List
Topic of the Week:
Roger finds Ian’s war paint disturbing. Do you think this is from never having seen such a thing or is it something about Ian?
Thoughts and Topics
1. What did you think when Roger found Bree only to run off after Bonnet again?
2. We discover that Josh was taken aboard the slaver and it sailed. Did you feel bad for Josh and for Phaedre who is inside crying for Josh? Did you feel like Ian, Bree and the others did really try or think about Josh?
3. Bree is given the option to have Bonnet killed there or taken back to the authorities in Willington. She chooses Wilmington for the sake of Roger’s conscience. Do you think she made the right decision?
4. The paper reports that a famous pirate was convicted and sentenced to die by drowning. Ironic?
5. We discover that Jocasta was involved in the selling/removal of Phaedre. Did you think she had something to do with it back when Jamie and Claire showed up at River Run?
6. Ulysses tells Jamie that he did not take the gold from River Run. Jamie is inclined to believe him. Do you?
7. I love the image of Jamie wearing the muffler on his head and it making him look like a large rabbit.
8. Claire tucks MacDonald’s wig up with the phosphorus; didn’t that seem like a bad idea at the time? Do you think the phosphorus incident was how the “house” was supposed to burn down? Why?
9. Jamie tells his tenants that he is going to fight for liberty and he tells them that an oath forced from a captive is not binding. Do you agree?
10. Jamie is on his way to Wilmington and they meet up with the Brown’s who accept Jamie’s leadership. Do we trust them?
11. Jamie tells Claire that he feels Murtaugh near by and Claire fears he’s there to take Jamie to Heaven. What are your thoughts on Murtaugh’s possibly presence?
12. TYPO… at the point when Roger thinks back on the people he killed he calls one Lillington. Then this Lillington comes up when they go to fight and I had to look back. Roger killed Lillywhite not Lillington like the text says.
13. Jamie kills Major MacDonald. Thoughts?
14. Jamie remembers facing BJR at Culloden and Murtaugh racing up behind BJR. Murtaugh and BJR are fighting and then the memory fades. Thoughts?
15. Bree gives birth to a little girl which they name Amanda. She has a heart defect which forces Bree and Roger to go back. How do you feel about these turn of events? Was it meant to be that they would return to the future?
16. Jamie and Ian both end up dangling a gem over Amanda and she seems to react even when asleep. Does this mean she’s a traveler?
