if one collapses, is injured, or simply can no longer bear the pain,
they are shot or trampled without pity. An image that secures itself

for dead. The father and son are running together when the father
begins to grow tired. As the Rabbi falls farther and farther behind
his son, his son runs on, pretending not to see what is happening to

Dan had interpreted it as trying to say that Owen was helpless now and that he couldn’t do anything to change what he had done on accident. Though that might be the partial truth it could also symbolize something different. Almost saying that he is the armadillo and he wasn’t in control of himself, but was the instrument of God.
