*Summary*
--------------
The author considers the multitudes and variety of prayers made by friends and family for his sake.
*Favorite Lines/Phrases*
--------------------------"barrier of affection" - DO YOU BELIEVE AFFECTION BLOCKS WORDS? IS THIS SAME BARRIER PRESENT IN ENEMIES, OR IS IT A DIFFERENT BARRIER (CONSIDER THE "tourists")?
"chants fly heavenward"
"kingdom of slumber" - DREAMS HAVE BECOME HIS KINGDOM, THE ONLY REALM IN WHICH HE TRULY HAS CONTROL.
*To Discuss/Analyze*
--------------------------
JAPANESE INCENSE AMULETS FOR HIS LARYNX, A CAMEROON HOLY MAN FOR HIS RIGHT EYE, BORDEAUX MONKS FOR HIS HEARING...WHAT SPHERE OF BAUBY DOES HIS DAUGHTER CELESTE PRAY FOR?
THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT THE MURDERS OF BORDEAUX MONKS BROUGHT EAR PAIN. WHAT CAN YOU DRAW FROM THIS COMMENT - DOES BAUBY TRULY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER OR IS HE STRUGGLING TO CONVINCE HIMSELF TO HOLD OUT HOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT?
CONSIDER THIS QUOTE: "[A]ll these lofty protections are merely clay ramparts, walls of sand, Maginot lines, compared to the 'small prayer' of Celeste.' WHY IS HIS DAUGHTER'S PRAYER SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE OTHERS'?
