Chapters 5 and 6

In chapter 5 Tolokai describes his life in Kilvert and the relationships he has forged. He is becoming closter to Orpah, and actually getting further away from Ruth as he starts to go against her thoughts on Orpah's art, and her dreams. Later on in the chapter, Tolokai discovers Ruth and Mahlon's secret and is disgusted, and later learns that everyone else already knows about it, and they are okay with it. Obed and Tolokai then discover a grave, a grave later discovered to be the grave of the first Quigley. In chapter six, Tolokai mourns over this grave and discovers the history of the first Quigley. He discovers his devious doings, his slavery, and his arrival in the Athen's area. Tolokai discovers his connection with Abednego and that they killed the slave capturer that killed Nicodemus. I found it interesting that neither of them felt good after killing the defenseless old man. Their revenge was futile and ultimately did nothing but create even more trouble for them. I also found it interesting that the first Quigley went from trying to get slaves and sell innocent people into slavery to trying to save all of those people and free as many slaves as possible.
