Week 4: The Raging Quiet

So, Marnie is going back to her hometown. She's taking Raven with her. When she gets there, everybody's happy to see her, but her mother and a few of the town's folk don't like seeing her with Raven. At the party in the town, Marnie gets extremely drunk and runs into Jonty, who was paid to lie in court against Marnie the beginning of the book. He starts to pick a fight with her, so Raven jumps in and beats the crap out of him. They go back to Marnie's mother's house to spend the night but get kicked out because everybody thinks that Raven's a madman. When they get back to Torcurra, they find out that their cottage had been ran-sacked by Pierce, who's still inside. Marnie tells him to leave and he storms out. Then, in the next chapter, Marnie and Raven are racing. Raven takes Marnie to his "hole" where he sleeps during the winter and the cold rainy days. Marnie tries to explain the word noise using "hand-words" and that the only reason people are afraid of him is because he is different. He gets upset and runs back to the cottage with Marnie chasing behind him. When they get back, a huge storm hits. Raven goes outside to get the chickens and the goat and brings them inside. While he's out there, a tree crashes down on the chimeney and soot and ash burns Marnie's feet. Raven runs back inside to help Marnie and finds a ring that fell out of the chimeny. The next morning, Raven and Marnie go to the church, and everybody is standing outside looking at the tree that broke through the church's glass stained window.
