Quote #7
Such trifles seemed inadequate expressions of his gratitude. Instead he walked up to Yellow Horse, removed his bear-claw necklace, and paced it around the Indian's neck. (1.15.29)
It's only fitting that Glass gives his bear-claw necklace—a symbol of his strength and oneness with nature—to Yellow Horse, who saved his life. That's a massive sign of respect in our book. What's more, the fact that Glass had this bear claw in the first place might be what led Yellow Horse to treat him so well. What do you think?
Quote #8
His satchel was gone, with his spare, shirt, blanket and mittens. The satchel also contained his hand-sketched map [...] Relatively speaking, he felt well equipped. (2.18.6)
And here we are having a panic attack whenever Google Maps freezes on us. Yeesh—you're making us look bad, Glass. Ego bruises aside, we can see here that our man has grown a great deal since the beginning of the novel and is now confident that his skills can carry him to victory, no matter the situation.
Quote #9
"It's the hides I'm after," said Glass. "We're making a bullboat." (2.24.44)
A what? As it turns out, a bullboat is a type of craft traditionally made by the Pawnee that's made out of processed buffalo hides. You learn something new every day. Good thing Glass had a positive enough relationship with the Pawnee to learn things like this from them.
