White Noise end of p1

Ch. 13 What is the deal with the Adele woman who is apparently psychic? Does she symbolize some sort of though on the unknown?

Ch. 15 What is the significance of Jack's not being scared of death when he is in a "crowd?" And what does it signify when it says that "death was strictly a professional matter here?" 

Ch. 17 What is the significance of the odd questions and answers that the family are always saying? For example, one child answers that the population of bolivia is "bolivians." It also says that the "family is the cradle of the world's misinformation."

Ch. 19 Why does the family suddenly feel like everything they do needs "explaining" as soon as Bee comes for a visit? Do all families feel this way when they have guests? What could it represent?
