How might Juana's blessing, "Go with God," be considered something like "post-shadowing"?

• She knows that Kino does not believe in the Christian God, so it is odd for her to bless him in this way.
• When Juana says the words, she is doing so only out of fear, not out of belief.
• The two times that Kino heard this expression before in the story, it gave him a very uneasy feeling.
• Because Juana is closer to "the gods," it is strange for her to use "God" for her blessing.

What is significant about the sounds of the cicadas and the tree frogs as Kino descends from the cave to the small pool?

• The sounds join together with Kino's Song of the Family, showing that he is joined together with the natural world.
• The sounds are loud enough that it keeps the trackers from hearing Kino as he climbs down.
• The sounds are like tiny alarms, alerting Kino to the danger of the tracker who is standing watch.
