Winter in the Blood: Section Analysis
1. Welch's novel Winter in the Blood is not a very loud book, and the story is told mostly through subtleties that require specific attention. Find a passage or a scene in the book that you find cryptic, obscure or confusing (mention the page number) and write a 150-word paragraph about what you found confusing. This could also be a passage that you suspect might contain more than meets the eye--in that case you can address the implications in the passage.
