Sophie Mol says on page 276 "The absences of children, all children, would heighten the adults' remorse. It would make them truly sorry, like the grown-ups in Hamelin after the Pied Piper took away all their children . They would search everywhere and just when they were sure that all three of them were dead, they would return home in triumph. Valued, loved, and needed more than ever."

Do you think Sophie's Argument to go with the rest of the children was well thought out and planned?
