Bel and the Serpant Response

So this is the critical response that I was supposed to do on a Bel and the Serpent passage. My passage is going to be from page 368, In Leah's point of view.
Mother did not rant or tear her hair. She behaved as if someone else had already told her, before we got there.
Silently she dressed, tied back her hair, and set herself to a succession of chores, beginning with tearing down the mosquito netting from all of our beds. We were afraid to ask what she was doing. We didn't know whether she wanted us all to get malaria now, for punishment, or if she has simply lost her mind. So we stood out of of her way and watched. All of us, even Father. For once he had no words to instruct our minds and improve our souls, no parable that would turn Ruth May's death by snakebite into a lesson on the Glory of God. My Father, whose strong hands always seized whatever came along and molded it to his will, seemed unable to grasp what had happened.

This passage basically talks about how Orleanna acted towards the death of Ruth May. She acted really calm, like she ha already seen it coming. She just had to keep on doing things to keep her busy and to get ready to bury her youngest child. Her mind was set now on what she had to do for herself, Ruth May, and the rest of her children. Everyone was sort of stunned by what she was doing and how she reacted. Nathan was also stunned by how she reacted and he, himself, didn't quite know how to grasp the realization of Ruth May dying. For once, he didn't have any verses or pasages from the bible to recite from.

The first line really told about how the mother felt about the Congo in general. She knew taht something bad was gong to come form going to the Congo and staying there, she was just waiting for it to happen. She wasn't exprecting Ruth May to die but she decided that she had to take care of Ruth May, or what was left of her, before she could do anything else, before there was no more time. This is when she was taking down the misquito netting and everything. She was preparing Ruth May and making her as comfortable as possible before she was going to leave the Congo for good. She wasn't really blaming the other girls for Ruth May's death. But she was really set on what she had to do. I think Nathan was kind of worried about what she was doing and how she was reacing to the death. I don't think he wanted her to leave or anything, because then he would be alone. He was shocked and was probably wondering what was going to happen now that Ruth May was gone, how was he going to convince the natives that Jesus was great if one of his own children died, by a serpant. He didn't know what to do. His life in Congo had just about ended. He was stuck on her death and what she had caused for him. Everything had turned out wrong and now he had to deal with it, he just didn't know how and was shocked in silence.

This is all I got. I don't know if it's what I was supposed to do.
