They must have contacted before..probably through telephone and Kya came before Chase to execute the plan. It was the error of the Sherriff ( and spoke to his ignorance and prejudice ) that he never looked at any others besides Kyra for this murder.and he was dogged because of his decisions and was not re electedin the book. They are both inaccurate and insulting, not to mention kind of (unintentionally, Im sure) racist. I cant figure out if it was an alter ego, expression of guarded vulnerability, or pride/vanity because she didnt want people to know how she felt about being treated so poorly. Why didnt Kya want to marry Tate? But its never clear. Where the Crawdads Sing is a tale of immense loneliness. Lots of interesting ideas and connections. Was he realizing she was guilty after all?

Im hoping that someonemaybe the illustrator, or Delia Owens or Reese Witherspoon will see how nice it would be to actually publish those books! Tate searches their Marsh home and finds Chase's missing shell necklace along with some of Kya's poems. If she were innocent she could have figured out what happened then writing her poem later. Or for that matter just stick with Greenville as the next big city. The murderer question bothers meI just finished the book: Kya did NOT kill Chase. How she did it?

Interestingly enough, though, some of the less impressive males (Tate) find ways to trick females into thinking that theyre the alpha males, doing so by strutting about loudly with their bodies puffed up to look larger than they actually are.

Like her mother having a psychotic breakdown, Kya snapped when she realized that she was living deep in the swamp and was defenseless.

He dated, tricked and cheated on Kya (he was seeing someone else so he wouldnt introduce her to people and got engaged while he continued letting her believe he wanted to marry her). In the book Kia noted several times how insects kill each other, devour their mate etc..I think perhaps she killed in going with the law nature seeing it as justified for nearly being raped.

A fisherman named Scupper proclaims his love of poetry, declaring that poems "make ya feel something." He's right.

She did what she needed to do to survive. Overall I truly enjoyed the entire story, even though the author puts a lot of detail into the descriptions of nature, and Kyas work, but it is also cool because it gives you the story from a scientists point of view (which our Author happens to be). Again, its clear that Kya has managed to find happiness in her life. I do not recommend this book or this author. She said we already are like the geese. They somehow end up at the fire tower arguing or trying to make up. Teach your students to analyze literature like LitCharts does. Now, I could see Chases mother killing him or Jumper or even Tate. (See the map at the end of this post.) I think the point is that Kya didnt know what was going on and seeing him stopped by the sheriff made her realize that she loved him all along. Wh. Tate sat in court every day, and said nothing when the red hat was brought up. So, in the end, the hat doesnt really prove anything. Did he? would like to know why a fire tower is in a marsh?

These people knew her and loved her and likely understood that this was the only way she would ever get justice or not be murdered herself. After a long while, Chase came back and endangered her.

So, she just wants to take back her freedom and power in her own home, not having to hide and flee, not to live a miserable life as her mother. Most of us learn to pronounce words we have read by connecting them to language we have heard. Chase was, as most people, multidimensional. And she becomes a best selling author? But earlier in the book its made clear that Chases mother doesnt go to the police until 8 days after they find his body and tell them about the missing necklace? The meaning of the title Where the Crawdads Sing comes from Delia Owenss childhood experiences (something her mother used to say). I think Kya called Chase to organise a meet up. Then after all that, he later goes back to see her and attempts to sexually assault her.

Titled "The Firefly," the piece contains a metaphor . Why did Kya keep the necklace after she killed Chase? It was the marsh that shielded her from being placed at the scene, almost like it was her real family coming to her rescue. Print Word PDF. (!) I dont think she killed him, I think it was Tate. So, the answer is, we dont know how Kya ends up with the red hat. And her meager shack ( that was not the best in the first place ) never leaks; the front steps never rot. Delia Owens may have been indirectly involved / associated with a murder in Africa, but it is unrelated to the story in Where the Crawdads Sing. Would be nice to hear about Tates perspective all the years he was gone and thought of Kya, or even visited from afar. Yes, when they found Chase and the tracks were gone-I though of how her brother said to cover the tracks. She Could have followed Chase out there in a boat similar to Kyas How did Kyl get the red hat? . i would imagine it has something to do with her fear of abandonment, as she asks the cat please dont leave when it enters her cell. (The last step, a trap. Many viewers were shocked by the surprising conclusion of Where the Crawdads Sing. Just how it is.

I think he might have given her clothes and food, may have discussed the tides/bus schedules/whether the moon would be out, etc.May have helped her with the logistics of it, but I do not think he thought of it ( I think it was her idea ), and I do not think he ever visited the tower other than to perhaps act as a lookout, if he was there at all. or does he go the entire book without the knowledge of the attack and is left with the thought of her as a murderer, the only motive being abandonment? Detailed explanations, analysis, and citation info for every important quote on LitCharts. Following Kya's death, Tate uncovers Chase's missing shell necklace and poems written by Kya in their home on the Marsh. Even Chases mother didnt recognize that her son was missing the necklace until well after the fact, weeks later even. For this reason, Tate reclaims her nickname, the Marsh Girl, using it as a term of endearment instead of a nasty sign of the surrounding communitys insensitivity. The Firefly poem gives Tate the first clue that Kya might have actually been responsible for Chase's death. Also, both of them were experts in minutiae so why did they he she bother taking the necklace and not hiding the hat when they he she cleaned up everything else? He had a bad heart, maybe a heart attack. The female firefly that Kya watches eat a potential mate represents the same kind of power that she herself taps into when she uses her own sex appeal to lure Chase into a death trap. Oh and the Firefly poem is just her observation on what may have happened to Chase and his wife, not reflection on Kya and Chases relationship. It is the gulls she turns to in times of tremendous sorrow and grief. (Tate doesnt comes back into the picture after Chase married Pearl.) When I was a young girl growing up in south Georgia, my mother encouraged my girlfriends and mewhether we were exploring on foot or riding our horsesto venture as far into the oak forests as we could go.

Kya does not kill herself. . And we fell in love with Kya. Hi Nancy, the sheriff was letting Tate know that his dad passed away. The fire tower is close to town. Her lawyer argued that the red fibres couldve been on Chase for four years (he didnt know how long shed had the hat) which is partly why she was acquitted. He was, after all, the one who got the marsh girls cherry. So hes rarely mentioned again after hes gone, except to comment on his evil nature. Was it under floorboards with the poetry? The two old fishermen had probably seen her flatten him. I wonder if he at first resisted be as he had true feelings and respect for her but then succumbed to the toxic masculinity pressures. Her poem 'The Firefly' reveals the truth about Chase's death. I mean if his intention only for bragging in front of his friends and no feeling involved with Kya, then why he still keep the necklace until his death? But now I cant recall why and the summary doesnt explain it. A movie adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sings is in active development. Did Chase love Kya, in his limited, damaged capacity? Tate had also abandoned Kya for several years, perhaps he could let her take the blame. I think Chase caught her coming back in the night and followed her to the tower.

Hi Jennifer Marie Lin, But I cant recall her motive for killing Chase.
