1st Post for Chapters 13-18

Wondering...

Throughout the book, no one ever says Good-bye. They always say "stay well" and "go well." I thought this was interesting, so I looked it up. I think that their good-bye translated into English literally means, "stay well" and "go well."

Here is a link that shows how to say Good-bye in different languages.

  1. Wow, so is there like not a "Good-Bye" in there language. I guess that seems weird to me because we speak English and all and how possibly "Good-Bye" wouldnt make sense to them

  2. Sydney's explanation makes the most sense in this case, it is also possible there is no combination of words in their language that directly means Good-Bye.
