Jimmy Cross's soldiers use their weapons as probes in order to find Kiowa's corpse. As the soldiers wonder which coordinates to march, Cross dives into his flashback. He compares the tactically failure of camping in a waste field to the municipal golf course. The accident was only a happenstance where one soldier turned on a flashlight and allowed the enemies to spot them. Kiowa immediately submerged into the waste due to explosions. Soldiers tried to get traction and salvage Kiowa's carcass. After witnessing the cadaver, Azar finally can understand the feeling of condolence. Cross arrived at a conclusion that no matter where the blame is placed, for example to the makers of munitions, consequences will never disappear.

The boy took comfort in believing that if the snowman were rescued by bringing the snowman in the house, the snowman would be saved. The snowman believed that by staying outside, no harm would come to him and he was not alone or afraid of the incoming weather, because he had nothing to fear of living outside alone and in the dark.

Oryx and Crake is one of my favorite readings in the semester. I like the flow and arrangement of the plots.

Atwood is known as an avid environmentalist of the time.
