Blog 27: TBCC, The End

Our reading of The Body of Christopher Creed is done! For each class period, there is a writing prompt; you may only complete the questions for your class period. Be sure your response is at least TWO paragraphs in length. Pull a quotation from the book where applicable. If you finish early, try writing on one of the other questions for review.

Period 3: What happened down in the Lenape Indian burial ground's cave? How do geologists at Stockton College explain the events? Why is it clear that Torey is still profoundly bothered by what he saw down there? In your opinion, is Dr. Fahdi have Torey's best interests in mind? Cite a quotation from the text to support your conclusions.

In the burial ground's cave,Torey found a body. He thought it was Creed's body, but he later found out it was Bob Haines's. The body was standing up, facing the cave wall with a gun in his hand. Once Torey saw the body, it began to blow away like dead leaves peeling in the wind. It was called "Immaculate Decomposition."

"Immaculate DEcomposition is what happens oxygen strikes a body that has been... well, that has been, um, dead. For some time. The, um. The cave you entered was air sealed," (Plum- Gucci 305). It is clear that Torey is still upset because he can only smell and taste things that are burnt. Also, he can no longer attend his high school or hang out with his usual friends. I think the doctor did have his best intentions in mind because he is a doctor. Doctors do good.
