Document Summary
He is left naked in the freezing cold. He tries to sleep and as he does the teacher comes and rapes him. His tongue comes out instead-> the tongue that tastes the blood that is a punishment for speaking his mother tongue. If he speaks english he will not be hit but he will not be consuming his own people and blood. Go back to the school and you won"t be cold or you stay free in the bush and. He creates a problematic relationship for us because he compares the (cid:498)fish bellies(cid:499) with hot-> he does not want to return to the warmth of the (cid:498)fish bellies(cid:499) If he doesn"t speak english he tastes his own blood. Being cold is something chanie associates with the school. The sexual abuse has blood-involved too-> he is smacked so hard that he bleeds and it gets in his mouth. When chanie falls when escaping he tastes his blood again.
