Journal Entry- Ch. 5

"...but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of another..." In the story, this quote ends with "-oh, of your father," but that's only because Miss Maudie was interrupted in the middle of her inspiring, and obviously important, speech. This is a foreshadow toward some kind of unknown event that will happen later in the course of this book. I thought it was interesting because of the deeper meaning: something good in a bad man's hand can be better than something bad in a good man's hand. That's my interpretation, anyway. 

• Jem and Dill become closer, Dill happened to forget about their earlier marriage proposal, so Scout beats him up. 

• Feeling left out, she turns to Miss Maudie: a patient and respectful woman who doesn't criticize her tomboy ways.

• Maudie and Scout spend one summer afternoon discussing the history of the Radley family. 

• Scout wonders if this is why they locked Boo in the house. 

• Scout recounts all of the wild details she's heard about Boo and Maudie answers, "That is three-fourths colored folks and one-fourth Stephanie Crawford." 

• The next day, Scout finds Jem and Dill trying to feed a note to Boo through a broken shutter. 

• Their father finds them, and preaches to not discriminate. 

• Scout realizes this is wrong. Just because Boo is different doesn't make him worse or better than her family.

Capulet and Montague Break Up

            “You Scottish flea-filled horse bag! You were my friend!” screams Lord Capulet in the face of Lord Montague. “Leave this kingdom and never return!”

           

            “Fine! I don’t need you!” an enraged Montague sweeps his hands in the general direction of the staring dinner party, “I don’t need any of you!”

            And with that, and a final gust of dramatic air, he leaves the dining hall, his long, purple robe flowing behind him.

            Wait. Hold on; let’s go back a little.

            It is Verona, Italy sometime in the late thirteenth century. Lord Montague and Lord Capulet talk and laugh at their table, drinking wine and each chewing on a large leg of mutton. They gleefully bask in the jealous gazes of hungry peasants that watch through the floor-length windows, and cackle at their good fortune together. The large, oak dining table is completely covered in every food imaginable- grapes, cheese, goat, turkey- everything you could ever want.

            Then it all falls apart.

            The greedy hand of Lord Montague snatches something off his pal’s plate, Lord Capulet goes silent. His renowned glare focused completely on the munching mouth of his former friend. Montague chews happily, unaware of his angered friend. Slowly, Capulet gets up and walks behind Montague. His hands lower to his shoulders and he leans in to his ear.

“Spit out the Nutter Butter, and no one gets hurt,” his voice is low and threatening, but Montague simply chokes out a laugh, swallows, and look up at the man behind him.

            “Calm down, old bloke. It’s just a cookie,” he reaches back and pats Capulet’s shoulder. The peasants outside go still.

            “…Just a cookie? That Nutter Butter is a symbol of how you take everything I want away from me! This kingdom, the crown, my girlfriend, Matilda!” his chest is heaving with rage, and grabs Montague’s chair. “It is not just a cookie!” with that, he tips the chair sideways and Montague tumbles down the small flight of stairs. Capulet roars with rage and breaks the chair in two.

            “Look, I’m sorry-“ starts Montague.

            “Get out of my house!” screams Capulet and throws the broken chair down at the quivering Montague. “Out!”

And that, my friend, is why you never, ever touch another man’s Nutter Butter.

Vows

Priest: Through all good in bad, through the yelling and fighting, through having things thrown at ones head and/or being strangled with the hair-dryer chord, do you, Romeo, take Juliet as your lawfully wedded wife?

Romeo: I do. I am a boat, and she my sail. Guided by the winds of love. She is my everything and nothing all at once because if we were ever to be apart, I would have exactly nothing. But more all of that, more than her loving nature and pure soul, above all else, she is one fine piece pf white meat. Seriously Juliet, I quote from my number one role-model when I say: "I am burning up, burning up, for you, baby." And even those words from Nick Jonas, singer in a popular boy-band and player of the guitar, keyboard, and drums, do not do you justice.

Priest: Do you Juliet, through the sea's of smelly socks, through the loads upon loads of dirty laundry, through the days on end of back-talk, football, and reeking bar-buddies eating all your chips, take Romeo as your lawfully wedded husband?

Juliet: I do, but Romeo, your a sap. Still it turns out, I happen to like white, nerdy, sixteen year-old boys who use metaphors way too frequently and have an inexplicable urge to fall in and out of love more than a sky-diver from a plane. And even though I am way out of your league and your not a very good kisser, I love you and you are the only person I would want to spend my life with. Well, that is, besides Bradly Cooper or Patrick Dempsey, but can you blame me?

Romeo: Wow, Juliet. Tell me how you feel.

Juliet: Romeo, you quoted a seveteen year-old pop singer that won't even exist for another couple centuries, don't even start with me.

Romeo: Touche`.

Priest: By the powers vested in me by an old chinese lady on a street corner selling teeth, I pronounce you husband and wife.

Love at First Sight

            Our eyes met from across the room. There was an instant connection and I knew he was the boy I was going to marry.

            I don’t believe in love at first sight. There are fairytales of finding true devotion, and stories of princes fighting dragons in order to take a woman’s hand in marriage. Well, I don’t buy it, and I think that if everyone tried to find the perfect person, then we would eventually die off. Why? Because there isn’t just one individual for anyone. In Romeo and Juliet, two star-crossed lovers commit suicide because the other was already dead. What the reader fails to remember nine times out of ten is that Romeo had already been in love- with Rosaline. He had believed that his life was over because she no longer loved him back, and now, apparently, there is another girl. To me, it doesn’t seem plausible that he could change his mind so quickly, and this also proves that there isn’t just one person who is right for you.

Dawn: Summary, Prediction, what I would do

1.            Summary up to page forty-four

“Somewhere a child began to cry,” is how Dawn by Elie Wiesel begins. It’s about an 18 year-old holocaust survivor named Elisha who joins the Movement in Palestine. It covers the transformation he makes from being a freedom fighter to a murderer because he has to execute Captain John Dawson at dawn. When he finds out about the horrific task he has to perform, he recalls a time before the holocaust, when his family was alive and he was just a boy. He had been visited by an ethereal beggar claiming that night had a face, and you could tell the moment night turned to day by either looking out a window or into the eyes of a man and seeing it’s dark visage. After that, Elisha would always wait to see who would visit him, and the night in Palestine, when he finds out he has to kill a man, he sees his own. The reason he has to kill this stranger is because the English have captured David Ben Moshe, a fellow freedom fighter, and they have said he will be executed. John Dawson was merely payback, an eye for an eye, and man for man. He came to be in Palestine because Gad, a recruiter for the Movement, came to him asking for his future wearing nothing but black. After learning of what was going on, he accepted and was told that he would leave in three weeks.

In Palestine, he was taught by masked instructors about how to use a revolver, a machine gun, and a hand grenade, also how to strangle a man silently and skills to escape from almost any prison. It was drilled into his head from day one that the English were his enemy, and they must die at any cost. Soon he was sent on his first mission. His task?  To kill the men in three open army trucks. He and his comrades set up road side bombs, and got one of the vehicles as it was coming around a curve. The other two’s passengers were mowed down at the knee with Tommy guns and presumably bled to death while trying to escape.

On the air, a beautiful girl named Iliana, whose identity was known by less than five people, represented the Movement. She, Elisha, Gad, Joeb, and Gideon were upstairs guarding the single escape route that could be used by John Dawson the night before the execution. While waiting, they began to reminisce about what saved their lives. Illiana, a head cold that kept the English from recognizing her voice when they were trying to catch her. Joab, death, because when he was being searched for his friend admitted him in a mental hospital where he pretended to think he was dead during interrogation. Gideon, god, when he was being tortured the thought of god watching him kept him from talking. Gad, David Ben Moshe for the deed of helping him escape with stolen weapons at the expense of capture. And Elisha, an assassins sense of humor since, while in the process of choking him, he burst out laughing at the image of Elisha’s head swelling up to a comical size, and released his throat.

When they finish, one of them mentions Captain John Dawson’s hunger, and Elisha denies that a man condemned to death couldn’t possibly have an appetite. After his rant, Iliana looks at him with such pity, and says, “poor boy, poor boy.” This causes Elisha to have a flashback to life directly after the holocaust.

After he was liberated on April 14, 1945, he didn’t know where to go. He was offered two options: home, or a youth camp in Normandy. He didn’t want to return to Sighet because it was overrun by native Russians and the depression of knowing his family wasn’t there would be to much to bare. So, he went to the camp, and that’s where he met Catherine. She was about twenty-six and liked boys who were absorbed in death. She taught Elisha what it was to love, but when he tried to tell her he was in love with her, she yelled, “poor boy, poor boy!” Elisha grabbed his clothes from the ground and ran away in embarrassment. 

2.            A PREDICTION of what you think will happen next

            I think that Elisha will kill John Dawson simply because he has no other options. This action will kill two lives but save one also: it will murder the Old-Elisha as well as John Dawson, but it will save the life he has created for himself in Palestine. Maybe the execution can help him unburden himself if only for a moment before the guilt of his new title of being a killer can set in.

3.            What would you do?

             Elisha has killed before, even if it was only anonymously, and I have not. Taking into consideration that I am not Elisha and haven’t been through what he has, I don’t think I could bring myself to pull the trigger and expect to leave with my sanity. Taking another man’s life is a huge responsibility to put on yourself and everyone who has made you who you are.

            If we were saying that I am Elisha, then yes, I would kill John Dawson because the beginning of one thing always means the end of another. The beginning: my reputation as a killer. The end: the expiration of a life.

Dawn Question Chapters 3&4

1) Gad states that the Jews were the only ones to listen to the commandment: Thou shalt not kill. He states that they "must be like everybody else and kill those who made us killers." How do Elisha and the other Jews reconcile their violence with their faith?
They say that because they kill us, we must kill them. But in their opinion, killing the enemy was justified because they followed the rules and that just led to their demise. They truly believe that God would have been on their side. 

2) Elisha states that he had killed others before under different circumstances, under the cover of darkness. Why is the question of executing John Dawson a problem for him?
He killed men who were anonymous, but his most recent victim will look him in the eyes as the rope is tightened around his throat. It makes it more personal when the one dying can see who is ending their life, and percieves YOU as Death himself. 

3) What do you make of the repetition of "Don't torture yourself." by Elisha's peers?
It seems like they use it as sort of a mantra, something that makes all the unspeakable things they have to do okay. They are using that saying to comfort not only Elisha, but also themselves. 

4) What is learned by reading all the stories of how they each escaped death? How might this change their views on death and killing?
They now have relived what it felt like to face death head-on and escape from it, and the reality that John Dawson wouldn't have a chance to escape has sunk in. It's almost like putting themselves in his situation.
Also, in Gad's case, it might have brought on a realization that because of what Elisha is going to do at dawn, David Ben Moshe, the man who saved his life, will die, and there is nothing he can do about it. 

5) Ilana calls Elisha a "Poor boy". This reminds him of Catherine. What does his memory of Catherine have to do with Ilana?
Ilana called him "Poor boy" the same way Catherine did when she realized he was dead inside. 

6) What do the reader and Elisha learn from the visit from his dead family?
When you kill, your a killer for life.


7) Why is he afraid that his family will judge him? How is he judging himself? Explain.
If he closes his eyes it is a sign of weakness and he doesn't want to be weak in front of his father. He is judging himself by saying that no woman would want to touch the skin of a killer.

Study Guide- Am I right on these, Mr. Fielding?

Study Guide for Night:

For the following characters list everything you know about them:

Elie: he was very religious before the holocaust, he is the third child, he cares for his father deeply, he doesn’t give up even when things seem completely impossible, he is fifteen (but eighteen in the eyes of a German man),

Chlomo: he is cultured and unsentimental in the beginning, but the torture of the concentration camps made him weak timid and vulnerable. He loves his son, and doesn’t want to leave him alone, but when living becomes to great a struggle, he gives up and succumbs to death.

Moshe the Beadle: he is poor, lived humbly, physically he was as awkward as a clown, he made people laugh with his waiflike timidity, and he spoke little. Since he was a foreigner, he was expelled from his home. When he returned with tales of death and despair, people wouldn’t listen to him and just called him crazy. He was a pity-case.

Akiba Drumer: he was a victim of selection.

Madame Schachter: she was about fifty with a ten year old son, on the first train to Auschwitz, she went crazy and screamed about fire until men had to bind, gag, and beat her into submission.

Juliek: glasses-wearing, pale faced pole who plays the violin in the band at Buna. After playing his instrument one last time, he was found trampled and dead with the violin by his side.

Joshef Mengele: he was notorious, and had received Elie at Birkenau. He was in charge of the selection that almost cost Chlomo his life.

Idek:

Franek: a former student of Warsaw, a foreman, was sympathetic and intelligent, but then tried to steal Elie’s gold crown.

Zalman: a young polish boy, he was working in an electrical warehous in Buna. During an evacuation, he got a stomach cramp and was trampled to death by the crowd.

Stein: the husband of Reizel, Elie’s mom was Reizels aunt. He had been separated by his family and had wondered if their family had heard from them.

Tzipora: Elie’s youngest sibling. She is a fair-haired seven year old. She was separated from Chlomo and Elie, and had to go with her mother instead.

List at least three types of conflict and briefly discuss who the conflict is between:

1) Person vs. Person: when the men are fighting over the scraps of bread in the train, much to some people’s amusement.

2) Person vs. Society: when the Jews are separated in to the concentration camps and killed off during “selection”.

3) Person vs. Self: when Elie is faced with the idea that he might actually want his sick father to die to get rid of dead weight.

Name two foreshadows:

-       “They were our first oppresors.” It implies there are more to come.

-       “…give me the strength to never do what the Rabbi’s son has done.” he will in the future.

List and explain two symbols:

-The quality of the soup: when times are rough, there isn’t any, and as they get better, the soup slowly gets thicker. When the “sad-eyed angel” is hung, the soup tasted like corpses. When an angry, violence-loving guard is hung, it tasted better than usual.

-The gates close behind them: it’s like sealing their fate, locking them into the camps forever, locking out hope.

List and explain two ironies:

-“Warning. Danger of Death.”: in the concentration camps, death is everywhere.

-“The good days were over.”: were there ever ‘good days’ to begin with?

Pick out two similes:

-Jealousy consumed us, burned us up like straw.

-A man appeared, crawling like a worm toward the soup.

Pick out two metaphors:

-It was an injection of morphine.

-The camp had become a hive.

List at least four settings

-The barracks in Buchenwald.

-The hospital when Elie was getting the puss removed from his foot.

Discuss how the dynamic character changes

            He changes because he looses his faith in god, and besides his father, stops caring about everything except his daily rations of bread, soup, and black coffee. At one point, if his father or loved one had been hit, he would have come to their rescue. Now he sits motionless, to afraid of a personal beating to defend his family.

Outline the plot

            In the exposition, Elie and his family are living peacefully when the Germans start to invade their community. At first it’s fine, but then they start issueing restrictions that the Jews have to follow- on pain of death. One of these are that they have to wear a golden star of their coat in public. Even though this is inconvienient and demeaning, they can live with it. Then, they are all moved into three ghettos, and slowly are evacuated from the city- street by street. Elie’s family is the last to go. They are moved to Birkenau- reception center for aushawitz. The men and women are split up, and then again divided by physical fitness. From then on, Elie and his father are moved from camp to camp, all the while suffering from starvation and thirst. They are forced to run impossible distances without stopping- on pain of death. At one point, the sole of Elie’s foot fills with puss, and he undergoes an operation to relieve it. He is forced to travel on his injury for many miles, leaving red footprints as he runs. The end draws near for Elie’s father, who is suffering from dysentery. When he dies, Elie is left with no one and nothing until, on April tenth, resistance decided to act, and liberated the captured Jews. 

Take Home Essay- YAY!

            Granddaddy Cain and Pa Sexton are men who use the outdoors how it was meant to be utilized- to provide for their families. Both are men born to be in nature, with rough skin and hard hands. Granddaddy Cain was even described as having “motors in his feet and engines in his hands”, implying a hard and dedicated worker.

         Pa Sexton is painted as a withered leaf- with gnarled appendages and brown, weather-beaten skin- but also strong, refusing to relinquish his hold on his tree filled with prospering, green counterparts. Before his farm-work, Mr. Sexton dons creased overalls, hefty buckskin-laced boots, with socks barely visible around the tops, a sheepskin coat, a blue work shirt, and an abused black hat containing his gray-streaked black hair. In the new era he has found himself, and his morals, lost in, his workers-strength and lack of a good education are viewed as weaknesses among the younger students. It took a trip to the school with his gun in tow to make him realize the reality of his situation, and how the times have changed.

         In many ways Granddaddy Cain is similar to Pa Sexton- tall with white hair, and silent like a king. But in the story, he is less liberal with his beliefs, and doesn’t change them throughout. Instead of Farmboy attire, he chooses more of a nondescript and dignified look, including field boots and black oil skin. Rather than becoming red like Pa when angry, Granddaddy Cain is described as having “rocks in his jaw.”

         Both have a “tough love” image going for them, but, in Pa Sexton’s case, with a soft spot for animals. Granddaddy Cain is displeased with intruders, whatever their intentions, and hates it when people mess with his family. As far as we know, in his spare time he nails chicken-hawks to posts by their throats, enjoys a nice walk through the forest, and practices his impecible talent for knowing exactly when to emerge from the aforementioned woods. Pa Sexton doesn’t have much time for anything besides taking care of his copious amounts of cattle, punishing his son, Dave, with a switch, and threatening school teachers with his gun. But despite their faults, and over-protectivness, these two men are very devoted people.
