The Gunslinger Chapter Summary

His change makes it to where “the hair begun to come away all over his body…he was white all over, then, like a worm’s skin…” This continues the idea that not everything is exactly as it seems. The wife was in shock since her husband “turned into the hateful one.” The “thing my [the wife] husband had turned into” then howls “a crazy, awful howling”, which can be thought as the yelling a human does. This creature is then told to be a “man thing”, or man, who “had no gun, like the ones from man places do”. Men who hunt wild animals will most often have a gun or weapon for defense, but since this man had no weapon he “picked up a heavy fallen tree branch in its long white foot.” This startles the wolf family because the mother “knew the man would kill” the wolf puppies. The wife knows that her husband would never be so cruel to his kind, but she now knows that her husband is not a wolf. He is a strong man who is ready to kill if it’s

The SEALS are one of the major reasons why the United States military is so freighting to mess with.

Soon after they let the herders go, they all had an entire Taliban military ready to fight.

Carol looks at coming back to this town as a job and doesent really enjoy coming back to that town “After a week she decided that she was neither glad nor sorry to be back. She entered each day with the matter–of–fact attitude with which she had gone to her office in Washington. It was her task; there would be mechanical details and meaningless talk; what of it? (page 465)” When I was reading the book I thought maybe there could be a change or maybe she could have sparked a reseince of art and bring in a new culture but instead the town was pretty much the same with not that much change in the town. She feels very defeated that she didn’t accomplish what she really wanted to in that town, in the beginning she had many bright ideads and very creative and with dreams of creating a new culture in the town.
