How significant is Tom's grandfather, Bob-Bob, to the story?
How important is his character to the overall story? How significant is he in the development of Tom's character or Sarah's?

Mjgarrison wrote:The whole trip was based on him and Tom made some of his decisions based on what Bob Bob did with him in the past, so I think he was pretty significant.
I agree with these two. Bob Bob was fairly significant.KeriCraven wrote:I think that Bob Bob is significant because they are traveling there to his grave. If he wasn't apart of the story then the characters would not be going to the trail. Also, if we didn't learn about Bob Bob then the characters would not know about the trail at all.

You're right. He helped build Tom and Sarah's relationship because if it wasn't for the trip they wouldn't have went.Gikonyo Caroline wrote:Though dead his role is significant because he reunites his grand son Tom with Sarah who is Tom's granddaughter as they go on this hike to tend to Bob Bob's grave and return the atlatl. In the process the two build a relationship which was initially nonexistent and then tumultuous.
