What are the rules of story telling? Rat keeps "breaking the rules." How does he do so... what's wrong with his tone and the ending? How is this story really about story writing?
Mary Anne goes through many stages of transformation in this story? What are those stages? What do they represent? Why does she become so frightening to Fossie?
Why do all the other guys, like Rat, love Mary? Why would they rather love her than some pretty girl back home?
Explain: "The girl joined the zoo. One more animal - game over."
There is yet another allusion to Lord of the Flies in this chapter. The decayed head of the large black leapard is like the head of the pig... If you have read "The Lord of the Flies" explain the relevance of this recurrent allusion.
What does this story tell us about the nature of women and the societal expectations for women?
