week 3
I think chapter four was titled the "french Lesson"because the language that was spoken in this chapter was mostly french. Jesse used french to communicate with Hong Ha.A lesson learned in this chapter by hong ha was about like racism in the United States."In the north country, the children are told in school that the people of color in the united states live in a separate country.they are told that white Americans are rich.."(p81 vea).Hong found at that racism exist. I think the big lesson that Jesse learned in this chapter is death is nothing to be afraid of.

1.how would categorize Jesse and Hong relationship?
ReplyDelete2.what are Jesse's thoughts on death?
This chapter is given the title "french Lessons" because Jesse meets Hong Trac who speaks french just as he does. Jesse learns a little bit about Hong Trac and where he's from and Hong Trac learns about Jesse. Jesse learns that Hong Trac fears death just as he does, Jesse believes he is going to die and so does Hong Trac. They both share many of the same interests and views upon life and war.Jesse also learns that life is a state of mind and not a reality with his visoions of the past and present.
ReplyDelete2) Jesse fears dying and knows that he is going to die just as Hong does, but later learns that everyone is going to die eventually and death should not be feared but merely understood.
