The Marrow Thieves

Question is down below:

At the beginning of “Haunted in the Bush” Frenchie tells us that he doesn’t mind discussing his family with RiRi because “The more I described my brother, my parents, our makeshift community before Dad left with the Council, the more I remembered, like the way my uncle jigged to heavy metal. Instead of dreaming their tragic forms, I recreated them as living, laughing people” (43). Explain why this discussion of his family is such a positive experience for Frenchie. Can you relate to this idea of keeping the good memories of someone you have lost (either through separation or death)? Does remembering someone who is gone help or hinder? Explain.

Memories are what Frenchie and others have to sustain them. The people that have before them gives their survival meaning. You need to answer the more personal questions that you have.
