What the boy had seen was a charred human infant headless and gutted and blackening on the spit.
This image to me seemed the most violent in the whole novel.This is an image of complete social breakdown. The weakest and most helpless-an infant- being preyed on by a group of people. This image shows us how when something catastrophic happens, all human feelings and compassion leave. There is only one thing left over, and that is the instinct and will to survive. To think that there are some people that would actually be willing to do something like this in order for food just goes to show how people can change.
