Day 2 of The Three Day Road


Xavier and Elijah are close like brothers, inseparable. They have been close ever since they were children and not even wa can change that. They become even closer as Xavier has to rely on Elijah’s english to talk to other people. They both attended residential schools but Elijah was in the schools much longer than Xavier was. Xavier is much more of a traditional indian, close to nature and more spiritual. Xavier taught Elijah everything he knows about hunting and the cree way. Elijah taught Xavier everything he knows about the English language. This creates a strong between the two which helps them through the war. Xavier is much different from Elijah, Elijah has a stronger sense of right and wrong. Elijah grew up with little to no parent presents, just the nuns that took “care” of the children in the schools. Elijah has a darker personality than Xavier does. He probably picked up the dark side from being in the schools for so many years. All the abuse and anger has turned Elijah into a killer and something darker. Xavier and Elijah have started to go out on their own, together. To work on their sniping skills, Xavier will spot for Elijah. Elijah has done all the killing so far and his fame as a sniper has grown greatly. However Xavier feels like he should be getting some of the praise too because they are a team. Xavier becomes jealous of Elijah and his fame, after all Xavier is the better marksman. Everyone calls Xavier by his nickname X, X marks the spot.

  1. Perhaps it is the unfortunate fact that Elijah had no parental guidance that leads him to have no morals. He doesn't care for the feeling of anyone except Xavier because he has a brotherhood connection to him. However just from reading other blogs on this story I feel that connection will fade and Elijah is going to lose it.

  2. Elijah having no morals is just weird to us these days since we all have morals now. But he must be crazy just to do all what he does during this war, its insane really. Great blog though!

  3. I agree with DE858 on how Elijahs parental guidance could have been a huge factor. He was raised by nuns who beat him, Elijah never had a official dad or mother.
