Nathan and Daniel Nathan is a foil to Daniel. Why?

Jesus losing the vote “'Jesus is a white man, so he will

understand the law of la majorité, Tata Price. Wenda mbote.' Jesus Chris lost, eleven to fifty-six.”

Corruption of western ideology.

Famine/Food Food is used to disprove “false idols” There is no food in The Poisonwood Bible Fire hunt and searching for food Feeding Bel/serpent pitch, fat, and hair. “And he said unto them, Have ye never

read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?” Mark 2:4:25

Nelson and False Idols Nathan “announced this was the

unfortunate effect of believing in false idols and he washed his hands of the affair.”

“I do not revere false idols but the living God, who is chief of all mankind.” -Daniel

Hunt Locusts represent famine- girls eat bugs. Fighting over the animal meat, like the

“hungry lions”.

Ashes Daniel uses ashes to catch priests. Girls use ashes to catch Tata Kuvudundu. Ashes represent death and rebirth.

Baptism Nathan is too literal with the Bible. “In the name of the Father, the Son, and

the Holy Ghost I baptize you, my son. Walk forward into the light.”
