... Jim does not come away any admiration for the plane or pilot but he wonders how birds can take the same map that he just witnessed and use it to fly around the World. ...
On page 110 Malouf presents a comparison. ... Jim discovers the life in him draining away into the earth, and knows he is going to die. ...
Malouf uses eccentric metaphors such as "newly weaned calf" to support his scene- "the beginning of things". And to top it off, he makes Jim see Clancy (who was blown away to nothing). ... Malouf creates a comfortable, home-like atmosphere and makes the earth "the sanctuary" form this chapter onwards. Maloufs uncanny irony: (during the actual war) the earth was a place of mutilation and suffering and now it is "the sanctuary", ends the brutality of war and begins life beyond
In this chapter Malouf sums up all his most profound ideas to the novel. ... Malouf makes clear that Jims death was wasted because it was cut short and the question of the meaning of life arises in this chapter.
