Chapter Fourteen
Predictions: 1) They will soon have to make some sacrifices.
2) Haven will be getting worse.
3) Pinky will no longer be around.
Questions: 1) Why didn't they just sell hens instead of killed Pinky?
2) Why was everything going wrong with the food for the family?
3) Why did Robert stay and watch Pinky get killed?
Clarifications: I understand this chapter because it is showing how Robert is finally growing up and how that he is strong enough to let someone that he really loved go away so that his family could still survive.
Connections: 1) I have seen a goat get killed right in front of me and I felt sad because there living things to. And after that day I couldn't eat goat at all and still don't.
2) I have seen apples with worm wholes in them.
Summary: The apple tress are not working for the family some even have worm wholes in them. Robert and Haven went inside for breakfast everything they had to eat was disgusting. Neither Robert or Haven could eat it. Haven then stand up and looks out through the window. He then tells Robert to come with him and Robert didn't ask for what because he already knew what was going to happen. While Haven is getting all the things ready in the barn, Robert goes to Pinky and tries to be cheerful and not get sad. His dad then tells him that he's ready so they get Pinky and Robert closes his eyes so he wouldn't see anything he knew when to open his eyes when he finally heard a strong crushing noise that you only hear when an iron stunner bashes in a pig's skull. She was still breathing but just laying there. Haven then starts cutting into her throat there was blood everywhere. After everything was done, and they were going back Robert became sad and started to cry and Haven was conferring him.
