For the full review and a detailed summary of the plot, see the Summary and Review for Where the Crawdads Sing. Crawdads are specifically references in a symbolically way in the text. Just finished the book. Tate had also abandoned Kya for several years, perhaps he could let her take the blame. Like her mother having a psychotic breakdown, Kya snapped when she realized that she was living deep in the swamp and was defenseless.

Detailed explanations, analysis, and citation info for every important quote on LitCharts. i was wondering, is there any significance to the cat that kya spends time with in her prison cell? Boat there? Yes. to have sex with her, lay claim to that publicly, distance himself by objectifying and reducing her real worth to him. Another thought about why Kya took back the necklace: when she first found the shell, she remarked how unusual and rare (and by inference, quite special) to find it in those waters. She never gets snake bit or breaks an arm ( most kids break an arm or a toe, or something, in their lives ). In my opinion, Chases mother could have argued with Chase because he told her he wanted to leave his wife for Kya. 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. But to kill someone. I dont think so. The answer to all of these questions is a (tentative) yes. In the scene where she meets with her publisher in Greenville, she comments about the praying mantis eating its mate, but says something to the effect that nature isnt evil it just does what it has to to survive. It said in the book Tate was too busy tending to his broken heart he had totally missed his Dads bad health/heart. Teachers and parents! Her character was a survivor. (Tate doesnt comes back into the picture after Chase married Pearl.) . Since he was a drunk, violent, and often gambled or dank his money away..,.i would say its most likely that he was killed over a gambling debt and his body dumped in the marsh or ocean, or he stumbled and fell/broke a leg or what have you/got snake bit one night stumbling home drunk and died in a remote area of the marsh. I think Chase caught her coming back in the night and followed her to the tower. It seemed like a perfect name for a boy who was chasing a girl the way he was chasing Kya. Oh and the Firefly poem is just her observation on what may have happened to Chase and his wife, not reflection on Kya and Chases relationship. Yes, Kya was responsible for the death of Chase Andrews. Detailed explanations, analysis, and citation info for every important quote on LitCharts. Basically, at the end of the book, we find out that Kya has been writing and publishing poems under a pen name. Again from the book: It seems like you just didnt like the book so you did your best to poke holes in every aspect of the plot. later in the novel, at the end of the novel, her poem, about fireflies, makes it clear that she lured him there. Possibly that cat hair sticks to clothing and hands while petting it. He probably walked. including poems by the prolific writer Amanda Hamilton, who Kya talks about a lot in the book. Kya so cooly denied killing Chase and she so easily slipped into reciting Amanda Hamiltons poems, could Kya have had a split personality? Anyone elses interpretation of what that scene was meant to convey? Struggling with distance learning? 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.) Then tried to assault her again and she pushed him in self defense and he fell accidentally. Biology sees right and wrong as the same color in different light. 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. Just saw the movie! She then removes his shell necklace. Crawdads make a strange sound when in the water to alert other crawdads of a predator nearby. Berta. why was Chases wife never mentioned after his death or at the trial? Asheville is not a coastal town; its simply a large city that gets mentioned a few times in the book. Seems like he knew (would have known) all along she was guilty. Shes petting the resident cat who visits her in her cell. Chase. She knew chase was coming for her and didnt want to live her life in fear. WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..more wait .. . After she was acquitted and returns to the cabin, she was relieved she was angry. Is so, do you know the title and author? People often die the way they live, so these are good theory. Kya knew judgment had no place here. Where did Kya get the wig she wore as a disguise on the bus? I believe Chases mother has mentioned that she waited until the autopsy was completed and received the complete report. Thank you for pursuing the movies making. it is just about survival. 'Luring him was as easy,' reads the first line in the poem. (The last step, a trap. A fisherman named Scupper proclaims his love of poetry, declaring that poems "make ya feel something." He's right. Its just odd with decades of being together and how much they loved each other that she never told him/he didnt know? So how did Chase get to the tower?? She could have climbed the Tower and Chase could have been no upset and accidentally fell down the grate and when his mom reached out to grab him all the grabbed was the necklace. No, hes dead. But the link is broken on the Chase question! And she becomes a best selling author? The murderer question bothers meI just finished the book: Kya did NOT kill Chase.

Teach your students to analyze literature like LitCharts does. She assessed Chase as this type of person, and her understanding was that it was either her or him. Tate never sees it. Chases wife shocked at the murder she just commuted and furious that Kya a marsh girl had captivated her husband, she sets out to lay the necklace on Kyas front porch as a means of Chases final good buy to Kya and to possibly frame her. (See the map at the end of this post.) Well, sort of. There, laid out carefully on cotton, was the shell necklace Chase had worn until the night he died.

After having been beaten by Chase and him declaring that she belonged to him, she knew that she would have to endure repeated rapes and beatings or death if she refused. I dont think she killed him, I think it was Tate. Where is Chases wife in all the drama after Chase is found dead? I dont believe the red cap is shown in court. I thought Kya mentioned in the book how Chase died and how she covered her tracks but I went back to earlier chapters and I could not find it. It has sold over two million copies and has been translated into 37 languages. Why did Kyas siblings not take her along when they escaped? I think Chase wanted to keep Kya as his mistress in the marsh and married Pearl Alwayswearspearls because Pearl was the kind of girl his parents expected him to marry. 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. I loved the book and movie!

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. There was a white and black school is if she wasnt black, why did they put her in that school? Kya refers to herself as white trash at one point, so I think we can safely assume that she and her family are white. Teach your students to analyze literature like LitCharts does. After the final scene in the movie pointing to Kya having killed Chase, I wondered about the relevance of the day he-the lawyer saw the two men hugging by the boat and his reaction afterwards seemed like something perplexed him but also left the feeling that he had found a missing puzzle piece. 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. But I cant recall her motive for killing Chase. What is met by the bird of pray on the limb at her window. The movie, produced by Witherspoon with Owens' involvement and directed by Olivia Newman, premiered in theaters July 15 and is now available to stream on Netflix. Its exemplary! Unless, I missed something. I really liked this novel, but I really had to suspend judgement and give the author a lot of leeway. Tate discovers a poem written by Amanda Hamilton, the poet Kya often quotes, underneath their floorboards. Was this a subtle hint of the author, or just a crazy thought of mine. Maybe..seems possible as his poker friends even didnt knew where he was and came to Jumpins for inquiring.. Kya knew judgment had no place here. It was a young white man, approximately 5 10, kept his head down. In killing him, she likely wanted revenge, but also to reclaim some sense of power or something like that. a defendant isnt required to testify because of the 5th amendment (right against self incrimination). Where did Kya hide the necklace? From the trial in the book, we know that it is a 1 hour and 35 minute bus ride away (when traveling in the middle of the night with presumably no traffic) from Greenville, NC. Yes,you dont kill a human being based on circumstances.But also you dont assault and make fake future promises to someone based on circumstances..If chase knew his marriage with Kya was not possible..why did he try to use her?And assualt her if she was never going to be his.Also he was athletic..she couldnt allow herself to be a victim like Ma and live in fear forever..She couldnt leave Marsh and Chase would never let her live without having his last punch..he could assault her again and threaten her to obey him plus nobody would believe prejudiced Marsh girl over chase.Definitely killing is going to extremes and violence and all and no reason would justify it ..but this is Kyas story and nature is her moral compass..Nothing is right and wrong in nature..Nature has its way to thrive and survive-just like female fireflies taught her..She would never let Chase hurt her again like Pa did to MaWhatever she did was to survive and protect her..kinda self defence..Thats the motive behind the murder..so its pretty justified(from kays pov). I think she had a mental breakdown over the years and developed split personalities. . He wasnt anything a man should be . ooooohkaaaaay. As she watches this, she sees that females in nature have a certain power that they can lord over males, since males are so eager to mate with them that they overlook certain dangers.

When I was a young girl growing up in south Georgia, my mother encouraged my girlfriends and mewhether we were exploring on foot or riding our horsesto venture as far into the oak forests as we could go. How she did it? Kya needs and wants to live without fear of Chase beating or raping her again. Kya had a lot of reasons to dislike Chase. Before the incident she unleashed her being lied to and left. How did Chase get to the fire tower that night? Kya and Tate were tossing it back and forth while boating. Back in the day they used to have these things called phone books where you could find peoples phone numbers. I cant find it in the book but did Chase ransack Kyas home as he did in the film? Have where the crawdads sing firefly poem thirty people recommend this book deserves the attention it is getting six at the expense some! Was this to make us think Tate killed Chase? I thought I remembered the courthouse cat, who befriended Kya, having an affinity with only innocents, did I just make that up?! I enjoyed most of the book, Where the Crawdads Sing. Chase was, as most people, multidimensional. Im inclined to agree that Kya just does NOT fit as the murderer. Kya knew judgment had no place here. The central plot of Where the Crawdads Sing the "strong storyline" Owens alludes to in her BookPage interview is Kya's murder trial. Does Kya ever show remorse? I was always intrigued by the reasons why Chase chose to wear the shell necklace gifted by Kya all the time. Could it be that she had no memory? How did Kya end up with the red hat? When Chase attempts to rape her, he was drunk and hit her. No,he didnt knew for sure but may have doubts..he was pretty sure Kya would make it out of the case and they would soon be exploring lagoons..So he didnt believe she would have murdered chase but the evidences somehow could atleast convince him to have doubts..which he might never confront to her due to fear of losing her. Why wasnt Pearl mentioned in the book or movie right after Chases death? I just finished the book and I thought I got the idea that it was Tate who killed Chase and Kya knew this all along I also based it on that one time Jodie told Kya back when Tate was only 7 or 8 and how he protected Kya against her Pa by screaming at him. What happened to Pearl and all chases buddies who he bragged to about his Marsh Minx. Im sure thats something she just didnt know about and did not think of at the time. Oh well! How did Chase die in Where the Crawdads Sing. If no..why not? "Marsh is not swamp. Since the book is written in 3rd person, it wouldnt make sense for tate to pretend to be shocked since there is no audience there to see his reaction. Thanks. Even Chases mother didnt recognize that her son was missing the necklace until well after the fact, weeks later even. I realize were led to believe that Kya killled Chase. On the map, I do not see it? Kay was dressed in white cut off denims, setting off her long legs, a black braid fell over each breast. physically fighting with Chase, and while wearing the red cap. Why seems he would have done it himself. Kya initially declines, but Tate tosses it into her boat. He may even have cared for Kya more in his shallow, selfish way. (Then they stopped laughing and simply looked at each other as they lobbed the cap back and forth until she motored around the bend.). As the years pass, Jumpin passes away, and Jodie gets married and has kids that he brings by. Kya is not black or Native American. I enjoyed the book. So, in the end, the hat doesnt really prove anything. How did kya lure chase to the fire tower in the middle of the night to kill him? Awful book. Most of her life she only had nature as her family, so whether right or wrong, she thought she would get rid of her mate the way some insects got rid of theirs. Kyas source of sorrow was being abandoned. The Where the Crawdads Sing Community Note includes chapter-by-chapter summary and analysis, character list, theme list, historical context, author biography and quizzes written by community members like you. Kya would have done anything to protect Tate. Would be nice to hear about Tates perspective all the years he was gone and thought of Kya, or even visited from afar. All the evidence was circumstantial. 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. It is also believed that they produce sounds to alert other crayfish to predators, or to attract a second predator to prey upon the predator.. Throughout out the book, Delia Owenss writing shows a great fondness for the natural world. It wasnt my favorite book, but I think it is definitely a story of resilience. They move in together, hiring someone to create a lab and make some home improvements so that they can spend their lives there. Its confirmed by the detectives who send it to a lab that its an exact match (between the fibers on Chases jacket and from the hat in Kyas place). I think Kyas murder of Chase IS JUSTIFIED, because, at least in the movie, he rapes her. I have finally gone through the book and found all mentions of the red hat and red fibers so everyone can have a definitive answer instead of having to individually e-mail me. Please excuse all the grammar errors, typos, misspelling, and run-on sentences. Did the Asheville references mess with anyone, since its like an 8 hr drive from the outer banks to the mountains?? They looked so beautiful! I have gotten so many e-mails and comments about this red hat that (a full year after reading this!) Id like to believe Kaya was innocent. 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?

He was a Big Man on Campus say his mom when she asks the sheriff about the necklace she saw one night at dinner when Pearl, the wife was not there. The way the content is organized. How would Jumpin know that unless he was involved somehow? How did it get to Kyas shack? Reflecting back to the necklace I remember this was a very special shell but couldnt remember the scenario when Kya gave it it Chase. to go out and KILL Kya. Then after all that, he later goes back to see her and attempts to sexually assault her. They never show the red hat in court, so Tate had no way of knowing it was his own hat. He did wear the shell necklace every day from the time she gave it to him, even for the year after she dumped him. Known as the 'marsh girl' she is different to her neighbours, having a deep affinity with nature. How did kya have Tates hat in her house. She went to the white school where she saw the other white girls at lunch. And with her money she gets plumbing and electricity out to the marsh? And whoever did the illustrations that Kya did (I assume it was not the actress, but an illustrator) did such a beautiful job! Also she wasnt a big part of the story, only in it to show that he was adulterous. Dont get me wrong, he is despicable, and his behavior and actions towards her were unforgivable, but I think buried deep in all that, there was a small potential to be a good person. What about the books that were supposedly published. I thought Tate found the Poems and shell necklace under a loose floor board, in the book? Xx. Been together for more than 40 years and never ever have that conversation. Kya, who never rode a bus before, executes a plan wearing 2 disguises and taking the bus back & forth an extra time, in order to murder Chase. Also, she confessed to the murder in her poem and tate found the poem and the shell necklace. or is tate simply left with the fact that kya lied and she was in fact guilty of murder?

Do you believe that Kya killed her father? Very interesting anylisis. Obviously, legally it was definitely not justified. Markers of death all weathered into nubbins by elements of life from chapter 56 night heron. thats the only thing that makes sense. This paper will investigate how Where the Crawdads Sing subtly includes ecological concerns. The book was too far fetched for me. Her past work (as a wildlife scientist in Africa), as well as the title of this novel, are a reflection of this. Observing this phenomenon in nature taught her that theres a certain power in sex appeal, and she never thought of this as evil or wrong because she saw it as a simple fact of nature. Obviously was not necessary unless to make us think. This is because she has found a way to live a life of independence and relative isolation while also accepting and even giving human love, thereby banishing her frequent bouts of loneliness and connecting her to Tate in a reaffirming, emotionally sustaining manner. Im hoping that someonemaybe the illustrator, or Delia Owens or Reese Witherspoon will see how nice it would be to actually publish those books! The novel received critical acclaim and was a New York Times bestseller. Tate was definitely the alpha male, Chase the unworthy.

Twist number two: Tate also finds Chase's missing necklace and a poem about predatory female fireflies. I think he mainly stayed home and prayed. The small moments, when he played harmonica, are glimpses of when he had a soul as Kya put it, and these were the parts of him that maybe Kya brought out and that was partially why he was also caught up with her. Summary. I think he might have given her clothes and food, may have discussed the tides/bus schedules/whether the moon would be out, etc.May have helped her with the logistics of it, but I do not think he thought of it ( I think it was her idea ), and I do not think he ever visited the tower other than to perhaps act as a lookout, if he was there at all. The credits said it was filmed in Louisiana which is believable but Greenville is near the coast of NC and Im not sure there are marshes on the coast of NC so all that was confusing to me.
