1. Cam’s early years foreshadow his future because he is described as someone who only does what he wants to do. He is portrayed as the one that lives by his own set of rules and never does what is expected of him whether it’s bad or good. He changes in the end by leaving the the cult, as he ended up disliking the rules. When he joined the cult he stopped living by his own rules and started following the rules of a religion. That is not in his nature. I think his changhe is permanent in the way that he will still live by his own rules only this time he will be more conscious of others.

2. I think Val has the more correct opinjon, however I don’t think it is particularly right. Val’s mom is too leniant and is weiry when it comes to judging her son. Cam might be justified to be angry but not to be this angry, after all everyone makes mistakes.

3. A) Val is disappointed because she wanted Cam to finally feel some consequences or atleast see what it’s like to have something not turn out to your favour. She, in a strange way, wanted to show Cam that not everything is about him and sometimes he needs to take a back seat.

B) Val thinks that her mother would’ve done alright, she thinks it would’ve beemn a more peaceful day. The mom thinks she would’ve died, as if somehow Cam’s precense helped her pull through.

C) I think Val was most likely right, she seems to have her feet planted somewhat well omnto the ground.
