Post B Week 6 Suite Francaise

There is a saying about helping others; that no act of kindness, no matter how small, will be unnoticed. Or Somthing to that affect. When I finished chapter 25, this saying popped into my head and I immeadiatly began to laugh. Father Pericand had been trying to lead a group of orphaned boys out of France, so thay would be away from all of the destruction of the German invaders. He walked miles and miles with these boys, when he should have been with his family, as they desprately needed his help. But he was a priest, so he felt it was his responsibility to the lord to held these ungrateful boys. The boys despised him, as he controlled every aspect of their lives from sun down to sun up. But nontheless, Father Pericand was trying to help them, to get them out of teh danger of the germans into the welcoming hands of his god. So one night, the troop was sleeping in a field along side a large deserted mansion. A few of the older boys snuck away from the group to steal the objects that had once belonged to the family that had lived there. Father pericand caught them, and to make a long story short, the killed him and put his body in a lake. This was a very cruel thing for the boys to do, as he was only trying to help them survive.
