This is a guide for my AP English Literature students to help them make sense of the literature we encounter, and I will include some cool stuff that will lead others to love and admire a variety of authors and their works.
How did the dogs teach Edgar while watching him grow up?
What is a "diaspora"?
Essay leads many of the dogs...why does she lead them to Forte? Where is she stepping towards in the last line of the book?

A diaspora is a scattering of language, culture, or people. (bing dictionary) The diaspora mentioned in the text is probably the dogs in the pack that are spread out. Essay may have lead the dogs to Forte because she knew he has lived alone in the woods all these years and will know how to survive. I am not sure where essay is stepping towards in the end of the book. Perhaps she is going towards henry's house. Maybe she is going towards Starchild Colony because Edgar spoke of it and that's where he though he was going to run away to, though I'm not sure how she would get there and if so many dogs would be welcome. Another idea is maybe she is just heading to one of the places her and Edgar have been to on their journey in the woods. Maybe Forte, the other dogs, and she will settle somewhere in the woods and just survive as a pack.
Essay rounds up as many of the other dogs and puppies as are willing to follow her, and leads them away from everything they have ever known. I agree with Elle, Essay is going towards Starchild Colony.
Wikipedia defines "diaspora" as "a scattered population with a common origin in a smaller geographic area", or "the moving of a population from their homeland." The diaspora in this case are the rest of the Sawtelle dogs, driven from their home. I think Essay leads the other dogs to Forte because he has lived in the woods and knows how to live in the wilderness, and can teach the Sawtelle dogs how to live in the wild as well. I am going to make an inference based on how Essay brought the dogs to Forte, and say that she decided to lead the pack to the west across the field, away from civilization.
Edgar loved his dogs and wanted a way to communicate with them. He eventually taught them sign language commands for a better and easier way to communicate. Doing so taught Edgar patience and good morals. The dogs were his best friends so he kept at it showing his patience.
A diaspora is described as a scattered population with a common culture or origin in a smaller geographic area. A diaspora can also refer to the movement of a population from its original homeland. Essay leads the dogs and puppies away from there original birthplace and home to forte to live in the wild.
A Diaspora is any group migration or flight from a country or region. When Essay leads the dogs away from their home and towards forte, it is an example of a diaspora. I think that Essay leads the dogs away from civilization and towards forte to live as a pack in the wild.
