Crow's clothing needs shaking to be softer because it is stiff from the salty seawater.

3.

Why does the author not specify where Crow hides the main treasure? (from Chapters 26 - 33)

It will not come up again, so it does not matter where it is hidden.

The clues are present in the text, and a careful reader can figure it out.

It creates suspense later in the novel..

They needed to put something in the ground to make the baby's grave look real.

5.

Osh talks with Crow about his former country that was filled with "mindless, heartless, stupid rage" and how he and others were treated as "less than others" (87). Why does the author never mention the country by name? (from Chapter 9 - 16)
