Problem
I. The book ends with Tony Loneman (whose perspective also opened the book). Read the final chapter closely, with particular emphasis on the ending paragraph. What do you make of the birds in his bullet wounds? Is this a hopeful ending? A tragic one? Both? Neither? Why?
II. How do you interpret the 4 section titles of the book?
i. For "Remain": Who remains? What remains? Where? Why is this important?
ii. For "Reclaim": Who reclaims? What is reclaimed? Why? Why does Reclaim come after Remain?
iii. For "Return": Who returns? To where (or to when, or to what)? Why? Why does Return come after Reclaim?
iv. For "Powwow": Why might the novel break this "R" pattern for naming the "Powwow" part?
