Post 5 Chapter 25-31
This section contains a allusion abou the fatted calf on page 210. This allusion was included in our biblical allusions from the novel Peace Like a River. The fatted calf story refers to biblical times when to fatten livestock they were fed special diets and the slaughtering of the livestock could only be done on special occasions. When the prodigal son returns the fatted calf is killed to show an out of the ordinary celebration. Nowadays, the term the fatted calf refers to a extravagant celebration.
