A song in the dark

What is chapter thirty–one mainly about?

What does Mig sing about?

Why is Mig not scared in the dungeon?

Look at the section towards the beginning of chapter thirty–one, where the author describes how some of Uncle's clouts hit Mig's nose instead of her ears. Kate DiCamillo writes, "This happened enough that it interrupted the proper workings of Mig's olfactory senses."

In this context, what are the "olfactory senses"?

Look at the section of chapter thirty–one where Mig sees the soup items in the dungeon. Kate DiCamillo writes, "…the towering pile of spoons and bowls and kettles."

In this context, what does "towering" mean?

Were there any events that weren't clear to you?
