Inman finds the camp where Pangle was killed. He sees the woman’s footprints but decides not to follow them because it’s getting dark. Inman is hungry but promises not to eat anything until he meets Ada. In front of the fire he rests, and hopes that Ada will take him back when they meet again. The next day, at dawn, Inman goes out to follow the footsteps, but realizes they have faded away with the snow. He then shelters himself in a grove feeling sad. Ruby awakens and realizes her father has fever, so she makes him a poultice. Ada goes out to hunt turkeys and kills two with a shot. As soon as Inman hears the gunshots, he leaves the grove. He then sees Ada and approaches her but Ada doesn’t recognize him until the moment he speaks. They both then return to camp as Ada picks up the turkeys from the floor. Ada then starts talking about anything that goes through her head.
1b. Author's Style: In this chapter the author uses simile and imagery.
Simile: "No matter how fast he ran, the footprints disappeared before him until they were faint, like scars from old wounds" This simile enables the reader visualize how tthe footsteps were disappearing. The author compares them with scars from old wounds to facilitate the reader's visualization.
Imagery: "He had a line of fresh blood running from his mouth corner to his collar" This imagery is used by Frazier so the reader could see the really bad state in which Ruby's father was.
Simile: "This time it was real snow in flakes like thistledown, falling slantwise so thick it made Inman dizzy with its movement" This simile enables the reader to visualize the way snow was falling, and he did this by comparing it to the flower thistle, and the thistledown.
1c. Historical Context: “Speculate in the most common way on the weather or recite lines from The Ancient Mariner, it was all the same.” This poem, and its message matches what Inman had gone through. According to my source The Rime of the Ancient Mariner relates the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner's tale begins with his ship departing on its journey. Despite initial good fortune, the ship is driven south by a storm and eventually reacher Antarctic Waters.
2a. The changes in Inman's physical appearance reflects his internal change. Inman is so in love with Ada that he says a life with her is his true destination, not even whith his familly. This shows that Inman wouldeven be willing to give his life for her.
2b. The fact that Ada didnt recognize Inman at the beginning made him seem like everything was lost for him. Inman felt devastated so he just turns to leave and try to survive somewhere else without her. When she recognized him he felt so much happiness, but the fact that he didnt see her dressed as he expected to and awkwardness of the greeting made everything uncomfortable.
