Chapter 13: Survival Games

In Chapter 13, we see Santiago and Angelina leaving the safety of the mangrove island. Santiago washes off and asks Angelina if she's hungry, but--surprisingly--she's not hungry. Why is that? She has been eating! Naughty! Too bad her naughtiness could cost them both their lives. So, to survive, Santiago says that surviving life is a game. Here are some of the ways that Santiago has tried to make survival a game:






Ways to play the game of Staying Alive (survival):

* Took candy and said he'd throw it away to get Angelina to stop snacking!
* Little squirrel had many important things to do
* Pigs in the maiz was created so that she wouldn't know they were in big trouble.
* Ride like the wind...see how fast they can ride on the horse!
* Jumping off the truck is just so exciting!
* Horse dung was really just mud, no big deal.
* Who could put the dung in the gas tank faster?
