Peace Like A River By: Leif Enger Annotations. 1. Clay Just in the start of the chapter he begins talking about how he could not breath and how rightfully he should have died. This is one of the biggest things in this chapter that I could relate to. When I was born I had a whole in my heart, So I was born with breathing problems and was hooked to a machine for the beginning of my life. In this chapter Reuban goes into a breif statement on how his father was his super hero and at this junction in my life my father was also my super hero for holding me for long night to make sure I was okay.
My prediction for this chapter is that his father is going to die later on in the book causing a great devistation to him. It seems from the beginning of his life he's had a close connection with his father but somewhere along the line I predict it fading away.
My quote to pay attention to: “We and the world, My children, Will always be at war. Retreat is impossible. Arm Yourselves.”
2. His seperate shadow So in this chapter we finally learn that this family is rather dysfunctional. The characters introduced so far are : Davy, Swede, August & Birdie Shultz, Reuban, Jerimiah ( Dad) & Helen ( Mother), Dolly, Finch, And Basca. You learn about a recent fight that his father has had with Finch and Basca who are just some school bullies for trying to sexually asault Dolly who is Davys Girlfriend. I presume after seeing his fathers astonishing god act that something bad is on the way and he knows it. I predict more to come more of a battle than just saving Dolly and that being it. Theres much more to develop in this story. I predict bigger test of faith from his father and that eventually something more tragic is going to happen.
