Hey,
today we spoke about the characters in text recapitulating what we had said last time about them but we didn't have time to copy it down. Here is what we wrote:
The characters
Jacob is the main character. He immigrated from Russia to escape from the persecutions of the Jews. He used to live in a small village but now he wants to enter the US so as to have a better life.
The first inspector was very strict and authoritative. He checked if immigrants could read and write in English. He also checked whether / if immigrants were healthy or not. He was quick because he may have wanted to intimidate the immigrants. But he may have wanted to have the most important number of immmigrants pass the tests.
The first inspector may have been authoritative because he thought he couldn't help everyone. If he did help everyone, the immigrants might have taken advantage of him.
Doctor Carl Travers was, contrary to the inspector, very gentle and understanding. He may have wanted to help Jacob. He may have understood Jacob's situation. If he didn't let Jacob enter the US, Jacob might have died.
Then I asked you to screen the text and hunt for words related to "fear" and "pain". We didn't have time to finish but here are the words we selected:
Pain: wound, (to) heal, (to) limp, agony...
Fear: apprehension, nervously...
HW: for Friday, I want you to listen to the document again and make three columns to classify the words ending in /-ed/ according to their pronunciation, i.e. [id], [d], or [t].
You can listen to it again here:
See you next time.
