Event 2

Now, the second event is in chapter 5. The event is that Matty heals the mother dog and it's last puppy for Jean. This event shows what the foreshadowing in the first chapter meant. In the text it says, "...The frog was smaller, he thought..." (Lowry chap 5). Later in this quote Matty explained how he had found an injure frog. It had an injured leg and couldn't move, so he decided to cut it's leg off. Although, when he picked it up, he felt a painful feeling through his hand. He was healing the frog without knowing it! This is important because it explains how Matty found out about his powers. Without knowing this the audience could be lost in the novel and the plot wouldn't make any sense. This also affects the conflict a lot, since Matty's powers are the solution to it.
