Zazoo

The Things They Carried- Tim O'brien
Number the Stars-Lois Lowry
Night- Elie Wiesel

I thought Mosher did a good job trying to capture the feeling of love for two generations at a time. It was interesting to see the beginning of a love story, as well as the end of another. However, Zazoo and Marius seemed way too mature for their age. Zazoo was only going on fourteen and she was handling her grandfather's declince with ease. It does send a good message to the readers though.

Was the oatmeal significant? I know why they had so much oatmeal, but why do you think Mosher chose oatmeal as a motif?
