 ""Epilepsy," said the guide, breathing hard. "We've tried everything for it." He stroked Lucifer's side with one hand. He was limp," (Braverman 80).
 
 This quote is at first glance simple enough description that doesn't appear to have much to do with anything important in the plot. If one takes a deeper look into this quote, though, they could argue that the dogs epilepsy could be a metaphor for a bigger theme in the story. One interpretation would be that the dog's epilepsy shows that danger can come from everywhere, even from within.

+One of the most important things Blair learns in the story is control, both of her own life, and in controlling sled dogs. While these two skills don't necessarily go hand in hand, they both relate to the more general skill of control. Towards the beginning of the story, Blair may be on her own away from her parents in Norway, but she still lacks control over her own body. This is because of her struggling relationship with Far. To get a better sense of what Far had to do with self-control, look at the following quote: "I was not confident enough to articulate what, exactly, felt wrong, but I willed my mother to recognize her "sheltered" daughter would not use such words lightly," (Braverman 48). Here, Blair is talking about how she feels that something is wrong, but she doesn't have the confidence to put those feelings into words. In the afterward, Blair reflects on the independence she had gained through the events in the story, "It was different, dogsledding with no boss, no Tallak or Noah or Dan to grant or withhold their approval," (Braverman 266).
