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. But I wonder if at the same time he had a glimpse of better and a chance for being more before his toxic attitudes overcame this window of opportunity? No mention is made of his fancy ski being seen that night or mussing. (Tate doesnt comes back into the picture after Chase married Pearl.) This speaks to the fact that Chases own father knew what he really was: a psychopath. When Kya came home, the murder was already covered up so she wouldnt have done it after she got off the bus. Instead, she passes away at 64 while shes out in a boat collecting stuff (her heart had quietly stopped). I know thats superficial to the performance but still- a girl, then woman who spends time in the outdoors would have a tan! He had a bad heart, maybe a heart attack. People often die the way they live, so these are good theory. He was married.I didnt think he truly loved Kya or he would not have abused her. I also had this issue of loved ones leaving so I would always forgive Kya. Perhaps Kaya discovered him dead before the police, and took the necklace from him. they tried to have children but couldnt conceive. Teach your students to analyze literature like LitCharts does. The two old fishermen had probably seen her flatten him. 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. I believe Chases mother has mentioned that she waited until the autopsy was completed and received the complete report. Tate ends up alone with no offspring with Kya. Did Tate know this all along? I wished she and Tate would have had more years together, and I also hurt for them that they had no children of their own, as I feel Kya would have made such a loving mother But hey we cant have it all in a story. 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. Where the Crawdads Sing is set in the fictional coastal fishing town of Barkley Cove in eastern North Carolina. Yes! Twist number two: Tate also finds Chase's missing necklace and a poem about predatory female fireflies. Yes. Another flaw I see is when Jumpin tells Kya that Chase is dead, he reveals to her that he was missing the shell necklace. For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Delia Owens may have been indirectly involved / associated with a murder in Africa, but it is unrelated to the story in Where the Crawdads Sing. Witherspoon told Vanity Fair in. The way the content is organized, LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in. How would Jumpin know that unless he was involved somehow? Just finished the book. They move the scaphognathite and produce sound and air bubbles. Im inclined to agree that Kya just does NOT fit as the murderer. Why wasnt Pearl mentioned in the book or movie right after Chases death? I didnt think this until I watched the movie. What was the purpose of that scene. And there is a red hat found in Kyas place later. He could have left Chase a not from Kya asking him to meet her. They're like having in-class notes for every discussion!, This is absolutely THE best teacher resource I have ever purchased. 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. in general, defendants in criminal cases dont testify unless their lawyer feels they absolutely must for some reason. How in the world would she demise shut a plan. Surely Mr Jumpin warned Tate of Chase possibly hurting Kya. Page 207 What happened to Pearl and all chases buddies who he bragged to about his Marsh Minx. So, that means there was a 50 minute window for Kya to get from the bus station to the fire tower, kill Chase and return. You can read the poem here: The Firefly Poem Where The Crawdads Sing. :). I read the book last year. . Later, there are red fibers found on Chases jacket after he is dead. I believe she was afraid he was going to kill her. The meaning of the title Where the Crawdads Sing comes from Delia Owenss childhood experiences (something her mother used to say). One thing I observed in the character, Kya, was her lack of tan lines! 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? [33] How did Kia get the nickname Kia from Catherine? She was a person with no experience in that area. At trial, expert evidence is given that the fibers could have been transferred at any time and just remained stuck on there for years (even if washed), so they arent definitive proof that Kya was with Chase the night he died. Dangerous predators must be killed or you will die. 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.

A central question of "Where the Crawdads Sing," adapted to film from Delia Owen's popular novel through Lucy Alibar's screenplay, is: Who killed Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson)? In some ways it makes sense because her relationship with humans (with the exception of Tate and a few others) were never the best experiences for her compared to her relationship with nature. I understand the author lives in Asheville but using it made me question everything else. There is no way she would have had enough knowledge of the real world for her to make such an elaborate plan. Or when she is older and on trial, why do none of them but her brother check on her? And she cooks at age 7 or 8, but never burns herself or burns down the house.

Chases wife then gets upset when she sees with her own eyes he really does not love love her, but Kya the marsh girl.. But King also says there was an older lady who was tall like Miss Clark, who had gray hair, short with curls, like a permanent wave. King, too, acknowledges it could have been Kya in a disguise. And that behavior was the cause of her hardships. Me too. Could Chase have fallen because the grate was removed by her but she wasnt there but came back to get the necklace? Did Tate and Kya have children together. It never says she called him. All the evidence was circumstantial. Kya realizes how unique and rare and special she is, so in reclaiming it, she reclaims herself. I just saw the movie, and my mom and I are discussing the covering of the traces.

Evil was not in play, just life pulsing on, even at the expense of some of the players. Im glad that I didnt purchase it! (Then they stopped laughing and simply looked at each other as they lobbed the cap back and forth until she motored around the bend.). Just wondering how Kya got all the knowledge about birds. Confused by that. I think that it is likely that Jumpin helped Kya, as he does mention how it is good that she will be out of town and how she should let him know when she goes. (!) How could a 10 year old girl survive by herself in the marshes where she lived? The murder of Chase occurred in the late 1960s and even if Kya was a woman of the world and was exposed to news, crime novels, college classes, friends, etc, which she was not, I dont think she would have been aware of fiber evidence. Or is he surprised? How was she able to move the missing piece? How is that possible? I dont think Chase was indifferent about Kya. She was concerned about being called a whore which I find out ironic as she had no reputation to protect. Sees right and wrong as the same color in . What color hair did kya have.

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. Love must be free to wander, To land upon its chosen shore The central plot of Where the Crawdads Sing the "strong storyline" Owens alludes to in her BookPage interview is Kya's murder trial. The return bus departed at 2:30. How did Chase get lured to The Tower at 12:00 at night?? I loved the book and just saw the movie last week.

She concealed the bruises as her Mother did. It is revealed through a poem titled 'The Firefly' that Kya was in fact the one to kill Chase. I think the question of why Kya chooses to kill Chase (and whether it was justified) is something thats up for book clubs to debate. The well never goes drynever freezes up or gives her any trouble. And on chapter 15, when her mother his painting her nails and her sisters, her mother said the light pink would contrast very well with the olive skin tone they all had.

Shes petting the resident cat who visits her in her cell. it is just about survival. I think she was deliberate in her decision to kill him. I was so happy when I heard the verdict.
