Poisonwood Post: Bel and the Serpent

For this book, I've decided to act as a moderator.

1. How does the different reactions of the family members to Ruth May's death show their true selves?

2. Does the death prompt any serious character changes in the novel?

3. Who plants the snake, and why does he do it?

4. How does the biblical story of Bel and the Serpent tie into the book Bel and the Serpent?

5. Does the death of Ruth May have a symbolic meaning to it?
