Key Examples in The Poisonwood Bible
Book 2, Chapter 16
Explanation and Analysis:
The Poisonwood Bible is mostly grim and serious, as the American protagonists often find themselves in strange and dangerous situations. Because four of the five narrators are children for most of the novel, and because all five are treated poorly by the patriarch of the family, Nathan, the reader pities and sympathizes with the narrators.
