Letter to Carpentier

March 14, 2012

Dear Alejo,

Hello, my name is Carleigh Rogers. I have read your book, The Kingdom of this World and I have some questions that I wanted to ask you about. I was wondering if Ti Noel was trying to imply that humans and geese were very similar creaters when he said, "Geese were very orderly bings, with principles and systems, whose existence denied all superiority of individual over individual of the same species" on page 182, before he transformed into a goose. He refers to them as individual's but I was not sure if he realized how much they truly were like humans until he transformed. Did he know that they might reject him or did he think he would be able to easily blend in?
Another thing I was wanting to ask you about was Pauline's corpse. What was the purpose of Soliman wandering out and finding her corpse? The narrator says she was "recently stripped of breath and sight, which perhaps there was still time to bring back to life" on page 166. Was Soliman supposed to find her and help her?
If you could anser these question, I would greatly appreciate it. I thouroughly enjoyed your book.
Thank you,
Carleigh Rogers
