"carrying the Fire"
The phrase "carrying the fire" represents morality and being a good guy. When the boy asks the man at the end of the book if he is carrying the fire, he also asks him if he eats people in the same line of questioning. This shows that the term "carrying the fire" is related to not eating people, thus relating to morality.

Good point, but extend the idea more to discuss how morality is defined. It's more than not eating people, right?
