The Knife of Never Letting Go

he picks up the spear and attacks him

Todd and Viola run quickly back into the woods

he is nervous and distressed

he is friendly and accepts fish roasting on the fire from him

he and his army took the other branch which was shorter

the army passed them while they slept in the woods

they army had marched day and night, never stopping

they had used floaters on the river which Todd never saw

Todd can see the footprints of the horse

Todd can hear Viola's cries in the distance

Aaron is very noisy and easy to track

Manchee leads him

giving all he owns to the church

circumcision

leaving the village on a walk-about with no supplies

killing another man

they are taken out of school and must go to work

they are allowed to date girls from nearby villages

they are given positions of importance on the town council

they become men and go to their men-only meetings

he was screaming at her to run

she could hear "It's gonna kill her."

he was menacing her with a knife

she was not able to speak or defend herself

gotcha

fresh meat

whirler dog

sweet dog

leave quickly and I won't harm ya

I am dying; don't bother killing me

here's yer chance to eat from the Tree of Knowledge

Viola is dead, so ya might as well go on yer way

his accent gave him away

"Prentisstown" came through his noise

he wore clothing indicating his village

he had a tattoo on his arm indicating his origin

that Manchee was very interested in her

that she really did not like him at all

that he needed to return her to Prentisstown

she was from another place because of her accent
