It might make sense to the tribe because they do not know any better to think that when a baby is born with a birth mark that is in the shape of a line, they think that those are the marks from the doctors knife. These people needed an explanation that makes cultural sense to them. The thing that was most challenging about chapter 9 was that it was hard to understand and very tough to relate to because today we don't slice and cut the baby after it is dead. We also have technology and medicine that could save the baby. The most interesting thing was the fact that they thought that a dead baby was an evil spirit so they threw it in the Evil Forest. It was interesting because I've never seen or heard of a baby being an evil spirit so that we need to slice the baby.
