Clarify: Haven and Rob are killing Pinky because the Peck's have no food. They were not able to shoot or kill anything this winter so they have to use Pinky as their food.
Try: What are Rob and Haven doing? Why did they kill Pinky?
Use: When I was 10, I had to put down an animal that I loved dearly, more than any of my friends. But, death is a part of life and we need to learn to come to a realization with that.
Review: Chapter 14 is all about how Haven and Rob kill Pinky. They kill Pinky because they have no money and barely enough food to survive. Rob can not stand to watch, but he must. After Pinky is dead, Rob breaks down into tears and cries and cries. Haven comforts Rob by telling him that he is becoming a grown man by doing something he does not want to. At this moment, Haven and Rob's bond becomes stronger.
