The Bundrens fulfill Addie’s desire to be buried in Jefferson under the guise of heroic including family duty, ultimately rendering the idea of heroism pointless or self-defeating.

Their rushing to build their “small fire (Golding 44)” was the spark that ignited their guilt free lives and burned them to the ground. Even though the boys knew on the inside that they are the reason they have already lost one of their colleagues, but they keep telling themselves that they are not to blame.

It would be a hard decision to make but having two kids I would want them to have a father. I would choose to save the father of two because he is a single father. What if his wife has died, then his kids would have no parents. Another reason is since he is grown, but not too old, he has a better survival rate than the others that are left.…
