Summary and Review for Where the Crawdads Sing. or does he go the entire book without the knowledge of the attack and is left with the thought of her as a murderer, the only motive being abandonment?

If not, Tate is the one who made arrangements for her to get published. But when she got his effects it wasnt there. Who was the man at the end who received the necklace. She assessed Chase as this type of person, and her understanding was that it was either her or him. Reading through the comments I noticed that no one has questioned a mental breakdown as a possibility for Kya and murdering Chase Andrews. This part Id badly flawed. She was abandoned to survive by herself, and she has who do you think you are?! The shell was meaningful when she gave it to Chase. Why dont any of Kyas older siblings come back for her? ooo thanks for letting me know, Ill take a look to see whats up! Excellent story by the way. Fireflies Symbol Analysis. . She would not have know Kya was out of town. Spoiler alert Theres a scene where Tate fights Chase on the dock in Kyas defense after overhearing Chase speak ill of Kya. The book was too far fetched for me. How in the world would she demise shut a plan. Of course, another perfectly legitimate explanation is that she keeps it because it was a necessary literary device to provide affirmative evidence of what happened at the end of the story. Kyas source of sorrow was being abandoned. I cant figure out if it was an alter ego, expression of guarded vulnerability, or pride/vanity because she didnt want people to know how she felt about being treated so poorly. By Amanda Hamilton (there's a surprise). When did that happen, when and how did he find out about her getting arrested and her trial? Why wasnt Pearl mentioned in the book or movie right after Chases death? But I believe she had helpno, no one else was on the tower but Kya and Chase, but she had help with the logistics of the whole thingvery probably from Jumpin, and perhaps her brother, who was in the military.

Seems like he knew (would have known) all along she was guilty. Tate has The Marsh Girl inscribed on her headstone. Shes petting the resident cat who visits her in her cell. My sister thinks kyas dad died, I think he left her like everyone else did.

I was wondering who were the two men that were hugging that was seen by the lawyer? Was this to make us think Tate killed Chase? ooooohkaaaaay. The murderer question bothers meI just finished the book: Kya did NOT kill Chase. Do you believe that Kya killed her father? So Tate would have seen it. Even if the author were to tell me in person, I dont believe the character of Kya was capable of planning such an intricate plan. In the movie, following Kya's death, Tate uncovers Chase's missing shell necklace and poems written by Kya in their home on the Marsh. Chases mother is the one that pushed the necklace theory to the cops after all. I believe this scuffle on the dock couldve been the exchange in fibers from Tates red hat. Now, I could see Chases mother killing him or Jumper or even Tate. When Kya came home, the murder was already covered up so she wouldnt have done it after she got off the bus. Kya is highly intelligent and to move the plot forward needs to . She never gets snake bit or breaks an arm ( most kids break an arm or a toe, or something, in their lives ). That would explain why he didnt know it was Kya until the end. I have friend who is crazy to know because he is sure they were not of the period. If she was found guilty would he have confessed? The novel is set in the fictional town of Barkley Cove, North Carolina in the 1950s. However, I wondered if Tate speculated that she did.

Where the crawdads sing, the copperheads make dandy pets, and shoes are for drylanders. Was the reader supposed to realize that Kya had planned to frame Tate? The answer to all of these questions is a (tentative) yes. I enjoyed the book. I think she snuck back to the Marsh because the attendant at the motel made her uncomfortable. You could sense that the sheriffs were not relying on gossips around the town as it contains more false information and drifts the investigation further away from what has happened. The cat in the chair is the subtle hint of what Kya had not realized at the time of the murder if it was her. LitCharts Teacher Editions. For this reason, Kya finds herself capable of finally coming to terms with her mothers departure, bidding her farewell once and for all because she realizes that she has done just fine without Ma. .

(Then they stopped laughing and simply looked at each other as they lobbed the cap back and forth until she motored around the bend.). I find it interesting that Kyas family had abandoned her, so she longed for family, then she was not able to create a family of her own, outside of Tate. No one from the town was going to believe her or protect her. It has sold over two million copies and has been translated into 37 languages. yeah, I think based on what we know, the bus person is her. Very interesting anylisis. Trapped inside, Love is a caged beast, Eating its own flesh. Her plan called for Tate to be a suspect also, likely even to be the foremost suspect. She mentioned several times that there is no good or bad in the animal world, just life and death. Is this realistic? I cant shake off the feeling that theres part of him, deeply buried, that genuinely cared for Kya and was touched by the gift. Crawdads are specifically references in a symbolically way in the text. Presumably the sexual assault was the final straw for Kya. What do you think about Chase and his true feelings for Kya? Where the Crawdads Sing: . I think he mainly stayed home and prayed. I dont think the book really got into why Kya wasnt put on the stand, but generally if a lawyer feels like a defendant is more likely to incriminate themselves or come off badly, then they wont testify. That happens on August 30th and a month later hes dead. About the necklace thing and when Chases mom was aware the necklace was missing. We all are still talking about it. Shortly after Tate abandons Kya, she observes a female firefly emit a light pattern that summons a male firefly of a different species, at which point the female firefly eats the unsuspecting male.

They will produce a series of pulse trains that is believed to signal an individuals presence to other crayfish. Yes, Kya was responsible for the death of Chase Andrews.

Witherspoon told Vanity Fair in. Just how it is. I always thought crawdads were birds What relevance do the crawdads have to this film Where the rawdads Sing.So am I correct in thinking that crawdads are a crayfish?? Most of us learn to pronounce words we have read by connecting them to language we have heard. Throughout out the book, Delia Owenss writing shows a great fondness for the natural world. She knew her father would throw the last punch and he was abusive towards her. These males, the article explains, are known as sneaky fuckers, and end up alone. How did it get to Kyas shack? His truck wasnt there. In Chapter 17, when Tate and Kya are looking for a place to hang out, Tate suggests that they go somewhere where the crawdads sing. He explains to Kya that it means far in the bush where critters are wild, still behaving like critters. In other words, hes suggesting they go off somewhere far from other people, deep into nature. The fibres couldnt have been on his jacket for 4 years. Why did he have dinner with his mother without his wife ? Just finished the book. Carolins wild creatures (the valentines and mantis) taught her that killing is not really a sin, but a natural instinct to survive. She saw mantises mating and female ate the head off of the Male mantis while she was on the run. Being an expert on the marsh & its plants, critters & tides, does not necessarily make that same person able to excel in other areas, such as a complicated murder plan. I saw them change. In the book Kia noted several times how insects kill each other, devour their mate etc..I think perhaps she killed in going with the law nature seeing it as justified for nearly being raped. The night her mum sends a letter he gets drunk and abusive again so did Kya go into survival mode again? She was always by herself, her father rarely talked and she could not read. It wasnt a moral choice, it was simply survival. Biology sees right and wrong as the same color in different light. The books she wrote in the movie are these books real did Kyas actually publish books if so, under what name? The two old fishermen had probably seen her flatten him. As far as her not showing remorse for killing Chase, after Chase bruised her face and and tried to assault her, she went to the reading house, she watched and thought about insects killing their mates. I think that Chase was killed by Tate as he was watching from the bushes for months waiting for chase to attack and when Kya took the bus he did it. She spent years reading only biology textbooks and her lifetime surrounded by the organisms of the marsh, meaning she absolutely could be an expert capable of becoming a published author, especially since Tate was backing her. to have sex with her, lay claim to that publicly, distance himself by objectifying and reducing her real worth to him. Summary. Its exemplary! That it was Jumpin and Tate that planned and killed Chase. Im glad that I didnt purchase it! It is the law of nature ( which she is a student of) to kill to survive. Asheville is not a coastal town; its simply a large city that gets mentioned a few times in the book. I just finished the book myself, the Audio book version (Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell, who did a great job, if anyone is interested in Audio books I do because of my commute, and I enjoy a good narrator. Basically, at the end of the book, we find out that Kya has been writing and publishing poems under a pen name. The murder was covered when the boys found the body and when she came home, the town was already talking about the murder. Certain lines in the poem reveal that Kya lured Chase to the tower where he then was pushed off and fell to his death. I wanted to say that I think another reason the ski cap was such a big deal was to make the reader think that maybe Tate could have killed chase. Has Delia mentioned any reasoning behind why she chose for Kya and Tate not to be able to have children? Do they in fact exist? Looking deep inside the cardboard box, he finds something else: the shell necklace that Chase wore until he died. They're like having in-class notes for every discussion!, This is absolutely THE best teacher resource I have ever purchased. It makes little sense to me. This theory entered my mind, too. Yes, when they found Chase and the tracks were gone-I though of how her brother said to cover the tracks. How did Kia get the nickname Kia from Catherine? There, laid out carefully on cotton, was the shell necklace Chase had worn until the night he died. All the same, though, her acceptance of romance doesnt change her overall outlook on life, which prioritizes survival over all elsea somewhat sinister fact, given that she seemingly no longer has any reason to think in such ruthless terms. Evil was not in play, just life pulsing on, ***even at the expense of some of the players***. Another flaw I see is when Jumpin tells Kya that Chase is dead, he reveals to her that he was missing the shell necklace. Her plan had called for planting the shell necklace on Tate, that is why she had taken it off the body in the first place. And where were her editors when her cringeworthy attempts at writing in dialect were included? Crawdads make a strange sound when in the water to alert other crawdads of a predator nearby. Again from the book: What I didnt understand was why Kya never was called to declared during the trial. Why wasnt Kya put on the stand to be questioned by the lawyers? He realizes the poet was Kya, writing under a nom de plume all these years. One detail did not work out as planned. Because Pa would get drunk and beat on his mother. Oh well! Thank you for pursuing the movies making. Later, there are red fibers found on Chases jacket after he is dead. Anyone elses interpretation of what that scene was meant to convey? Ive tried looking online to see if there is any Crawdads merch but didnt find anything. (If you google this question, the city of Asheville sometimes comes up as the answer, but that is not accurate. I have gotten so many e-mails and comments about this red hat that (a full year after reading this!) I would love all 3! (Owens, p. 142) Kya's posthumous poem, discovered by Tate, "The Firefly" begins "Luring him was as easy/As flashing valentines/But like a lady firefly/They held a secret call . *** (lovers is plural !). Think it was the 3rd last chapter in the book. Also, she confessed to the murder in her poem and tate found the poem and the shell necklace. The female firefly that Kya watches eat a potential mate represents the same kind of power that she herself taps into when she uses her own sex appeal to lure Chase into a death trap. Also she wasnt a big part of the story, only in it to show that he was adulterous. This speaks to the fact that Chases own father knew what he really was: a psychopath. even at the expense of some of the players.. Shed say, Go way out yonder where the crawdads sing. And we did.. I didnt think this until I watched the movie. Simple minded does not mean stupid. There was no mention of her during the investigation nor trial. How did Chase get to the fire tower. Turns out she was the published poet using a pseudonym. (Tate doesnt comes back into the picture after Chase married Pearl.) It was Tate that encourages Kya to go see her publisher and tells her to stay a couple of nights at a nice hotel and eat food you didnt cook. How was she able to move the missing piece? Did she call him?write him? Its quite easy to imagine a conversation taking place planning Chases murder. The motel owner mentions that she didnt know how to use the phone which to me suggests she asked how to use it. "My students can't get enough of your charts and their results have gone through the roof." Did she mention it earlier? I absolutely loved and appreciated the movie and will be reading the book but Im from Asheville, NC and confused about the setting. Did tate still love kya even after finding out that she killed chase andrew. I identify with the character a great deal. How would Jumpin know that unless he was involved somehow? A.H. Obviously, legally it was definitely not justified. When Kyas books get published, we see Jumpin placing them for sale in the window of his store. One by one, they walked out their life. I feel ya. I cant figure out when Jodie showed up to the trail. Its not really stated how exactly she lures him to fire tower. I understood the one about The Firefly, and Broken Gull of Brandon Beach, but failed to get a handle on some of the others. As her family abandons her one by one, she learns to survive on her own. They never show the red hat in court, so Tate had no way of knowing it was his own hat. Another child teaches her to read? This took place weeks before the murder, but in court when they were questioned, it seems like they were identifying her and her boat the night of the murder? Im still so confused about the movie and book I think I have to go wash the book I mean read the book and go see the movie afterwards being a male it doesnt interest me much but the book was so famous sold a lot of copies just like Harry Potter and Fifty Shades of Gray which both of those I dislike so much I started reading some of it and I just didnt like it and I did the same thing with this book started reading it didnt like it went to watch the movie walked out out of it in 15 minutes I guess I have to see the movie from the beginning and to the end to understand what its all about? Female insects, Kya thought, know how to deal with their lovers. [lovers is plural !] So kya definitely killed Chase. Not Tate. Did he die? Great book. Not one major hurricane ( heck, I live inland on the Alabama/Georgia line outside Atlanta, and we have hurricanes here all the time they take down major trees, and blow homes apart. She came home and heard about the murder and Realized it was Tate and being an expert in the swamp covered up the footprints in the marsh and wore the fibers to clean it up to protect Tate. Even Chases mother didnt recognize that her son was missing the necklace until well after the fact, weeks later even. But its never clear. "Where the Crawdads Sing" doesn't draw directly on Owens's time in Africa, but there are echoes of her work as a naturalist. (See the map at the end of this post.) He loved her like is own daughter and he said he deserved to die for what he did. Why does Chase Andrews have a different last name than his parents? I find myself feeling such hatred for all of the townspeople who are prejudiced and mean to her, calling her marsh trash proclaiming loudly in my car (all by myself) Hey you A***ole!! Twist number two: Tate also finds Chase's missing necklace and a poem about predatory female fireflies. She looks down at her hand after petting the car for a while and sees the cats fur/fibers on her hand. Known as the 'marsh girl' she is different to her neighbours, having a deep affinity with nature. Although the hotel clerk testifying she wasnt sure how to use a phone could indicate that she did. How could she have met him on middle of night, climbed a tower pushed him off got back to bus and back to that town where she was staying. Meaning she didnt kill because she was scared, she killed him because she was hurt. What happen to Chases wife? My biggest disappointment from this book was that, even though you know Kya ate natural, and was a very slim woman (who I would imagine being in great health) she died way too early in life. Did he drive there? Loved the movie. I mean how else did she know how to get away with it. Where does all this sophistication come from on Kyas part. There was a white and black school is if she wasnt black, why did they put her in that school? The way the content is organized. Excellent commentary on the geography of North Carolina and of Kyas lack of any dialect. a defendant isnt required to testify because of the 5th amendment (right against self incrimination). Discovering Amanda Hamilton, Poet in Where the Crawdads Sing. Markers of death all weathered into nubbins by elements of life from chapter 56 night heron. Thank you! How did Kya get Chase to the fire tower that night? She probably called him over telephone or left a note in her shack. Or is he surprised? I was so happy when I heard the verdict. Thought it was very well done. They can describe the incident IN DETAIL, even years after it has happened. Tate was definitely the alpha male, Chase the unworthy. Does Kya ever show remorse? Presumably though, she saw it as some symbol of her relationship with Chase, possibly a representation of her taking back something (her dignity, her pride, her sense of safety, her sense of self worth, etc.) I dont understand why Kya didnt want to marry Tate? I saw someone comment about the possibility of a mental breakdown and split personalities. One thing I observed in the character, Kya, was her lack of tan lines! What was the purpose of that scene. It was dark, he didnt realize the grate was off. What about the books that were supposedly published. If no..why not? So how did Chase get to the tower?? And her meager shack ( that was not the best in the first place ) never leaks; the front steps never rot. Thats all. Then he finds a shell necklace that Kya made for Chase hidden in her shack. They looked so beautiful! Did Kya (The Marsh Girl) Murder Chase in Where the Crawdads Sing? I think it is one of the best murder mysteries I have read. Where EXACTLY can I read where Kya and Chase were on the fire tower and he fell/was pushed to his death??? In my opinion, Chases mother could have argued with Chase because he told her he wanted to leave his wife for Kya. that get asked pretty frequently about this book, so I thought Id just answer them here. Kya is ostracized and shunned by most of her neighbours. Kya had left Chase sprawled on the dirt. He probably walked. He could have left Chase a not from Kya asking him to meet her. It is revealed through a poem titled 'The Firefly' that Kya was in fact the one to kill Chase. Hi Im curious as to why Kya was upset and angry that she was put on trial for the murder when she was guilty? Jodie and his wife had children and visited a few times a year to fish and be a family. Teach your students to analyze literature like LitCharts does. Her past work (as a wildlife scientist in Africa), as well as the title of this novel, are a reflection of this. A final touch,Unfinished;The last step, a trap.Down, down he falls,His eyes still holding mine Until they see another world. Chase was, as most people, multidimensional. Im not sure what youre referring to but in Chapter 47 (the expert) theres a discussion of what may have happened to Chases footprints (short version: the tide), there probably wouldnt be any part in the book where kya admits to killing chase and covering her tracks since thats supposed to be ambiguous until the very end, Good summary wonderfully Very help for me. Thats why he keep her secrets. It is revealed through a poem titled 'The Firefly' that Kya was in fact the one to kill Chase. I think that both Tate and Jumpin did it together. OK, I just finished the book for the first time. Word Count: 415. The well never goes drynever freezes up or gives her any trouble. I thought I remembered the courthouse cat, who befriended Kya, having an affinity with only innocents, did I just make that up?! Her lawyer argued that the red fibres couldve been on Chase for four years (he didnt know how long shed had the hat) which is partly why she was acquitted. Why was it all about his mother. I think its not about revenge here. Kyas full name is Catherine Danielle Clark. Was the firefly poem ever published, or was that something that Kya did not send to magazines as Amanda Hamilton? Hi Jennifer Marie Lin, Observing this, females mate more often with these alpha males (Chase). Kya had planned the murder in fine detail and covered her tracks including by careful study of the bus schedule. The poem is titled 'The Firefly'. Three thoughts, after reading through all the posts and having only read the book (I have not seen the movie):: Why did no one ever consider whether Kyas boat left its mooring at the town dock that night when Chase was killedthat was never part of the investigation, yet would have been key to her guilt/innocence. I didnt get that. later in the novel, at the end of the novel, her poem, about fireflies, makes it clear that she lured him there. -Graham S. The timeline below shows where the symbol Fireflies appears in, The next day, she continues to wait, listening for his boat. I enjoyed most of the book, Where the Crawdads Sing. I was always intrigued by the reasons why Chase chose to wear the shell necklace gifted by Kya all the time. And in the last chapter, it seems like Tate and Kya never had the conversation about what happened to Chase, is only when she died that he knew that was her. I think either its a confession from kya or kya knew Tate did it and she meant for him to find the poems she had written with a fake name. I am confused about one thing. Folks hear n see almost everything. I really enjoyed this book too, and appreciate your thoughts on it! Thats why she refused to say she murdered him. Lots of interesting ideas and connections. Why was Tate, who always wore a red cap in his work, never considered a suspect in the book? She was always offering her dresses, shoes etc. I wonder if he at first resisted be as he had true feelings and respect for her but then succumbed to the toxic masculinity pressures. Great book. After she was acquitted and returns to the cabin, she was relieved she was angry. Did the letter tell pa and he went after her? Kya is acquitted of murder charges and granted freedom at the movie's end . Im an avid reader of John Grishams courtroom drama stories, and havent found another author that compares, until Delia Owens Where the Crawdads Sing. I thought he was the murderer and they were arresting him, but that didnt happen. Is so, do you know the title and author? I think Chase caught her coming back in the night and followed her to the tower. Dont forget that the one night when Jumpin was returning back home at the end of the day and was being harrassed by some boys, it was Kya who threw the rock at them to save Jumpin. Her character was a survivor. Having been forced into the public eye during her trial, Kya retreats back into a life of relative isolation, never going to town again for the rest of her days. And whoever did the illustrations that Kya did (I assume it was not the actress, but an illustrator) did such a beautiful job! In the movie there was a scene with adults and children running towards her. Titled "The Firefly," the piece contains a metaphor . Doesnt make sense. Kya refers to herself as white trash at one point, so I think we can safely assume that she and her family are white. Was surprised the wifes testimony wasnt in the book, was my primary suspect but loved the twist. Why did Chase wear the necklace all the time? Again, its clear that Kya has managed to find happiness in her life. She went to the white school where she saw the other white girls at lunch. Remember she is really good at giving people the slip, so he never saw her leave or come back. When Where The Crawdads Sing begins, two young boys find the dead body of a man named Chase Andrews deep in the marshes of North Carolina. Or, if not, why didnt he tell anyone that it was his hatso I dont believe that IF it was her who killed Chase, that Tate didnt suspect it until he found the poem.
