My China - Kylie Kwong

My China by Kylie Kwong is a story about an author going back to to where her great grandfather lived until 1875 then, when he was 25, moved to Australia because of the promise of gold.  During his time in Australia he made many forged business connections to go back and forth to china to secure a futures for his family. Now over 120 years later the Kwong family has over 1200 people in his family and over 5 generations.
The story is full of descriptive language to describe what it is like to in the village and everything that she does "As I make my way through the village, it buzzes with life: mottled chickens peck at the ground, twitchy-eared dogs sniff the air and stare at us: farmers steer water buffalo through the lush, green rice paddies; worn and weathered wooden wheelbarrows lie by the side of the fields; ducks glide through the murky waters" and it keeps going on like that until the next page. This does not usually happen in many books, they way she describes everything that she does and how she feels about everything really gives the reader an idea in to what is really happening and how she perceives things 
As Kylie is walking through the town she finds her great grandfathers house which is over 130 years old and as she is walking along side it she runs her hand along hoping to feel a little bit of her great grandfathers spirit. when she does she is overwhelmed by the feeling that she really belongs soemwhere "on the wall is the Kwong family seal - I am overwhelmed by the feeling that i really belong somewhere

Conversations with my Parents by Oanh Thi Tran

Conversations with my Parents by Oanh Thi Tran

1. What is ironic about the way the author and the father become close? What has to happen to the father? It is ironic that the author becomes closer to her father because he went to the hospital they didn't talk and after he went to the hospital and he went to see her dad they started talking. this is ironic because usually father and daughter talk to each other but this time the author doesn't talk till her dad until he is in hospital

2. How would you characterise the conversation that the author has with her parents? I believe that the way that the family talks to each other is like they are all stranger and all their conversations are very short if we didn't know they were family we could even think they have not much to do with each other

3. What is it that worries the author most about these conversations? The author is worried about that in all of their convosations she never tells them that she loves them.

4. There is a gap between the author’s need to express feelings common in western countries and her family’s lack of desire to express their feelings verbally. How does the family still express their feelings for their child, just not verbally? The family expresses their feelings for their daughter by telling her stories and remembering old memories. they call her in and tell her that they want her to be save and want her to be happy and talk about their culture.

Chapter 14: Bruno Tells a Perfectly Reasonable Lie

(150-1) What information do we get that makes the reader start to feel that he is becoming less innocent and more ignorant? When Bruno sneaks out through the back of the house and finally Bruno is there waiting for him He does not ask if he is okay he just says that he is sorry and he only said it because the soldier is so scary.

(151-3) What is interesting about the weather and how does it relate to the overall emotion of this stage in the book? The current weather relates to the emotion in the book because pavel has probably just been killed or really badly injured and Schmul is also bruised and upset at Bruno because of what he did

(153) What does Bruno accidentally say to Gretel? Bruno accidentally says to gretel that he has a friend but then he says that they are imaginary.

(155) What is it that motivates Bruno not to tell Gretel the truth? How does this portray Bruno as being selfish? Bruno is motivated not to tell the truth because he does not want to get in trouble from Gretel, mother and father or possibly just doesn't want gretel to become friends with Schmul as well. Bruno is selfish because either he doesn't want to get in trouble or he doesn't want to share his only friend with his sister

(158) What is it that Bruno realises when he starts recounting what Shmuel tells him? Why do you think that this is when he finally starts to realise what Shmuel is experiencing?

(159) What is ironic and hypocritical about what Gretel tells Bruno regarding imaginary friends? It is ironic and hypocritical that Gretel tells Bruno about his imaginary friends because just a couple of weeks ago she had hundreds of dolls and gretel would talk to then and interact with then but they were not real but she was telling bruno not to have them

Chapter 13: The Bottle of Wine

(134) How does the initial paragraph frame Bruno's state of mind?
The initial paragraph frame shows Bruno has given up on going back to Berlin and that he wont be seeing his friends any time soon.
(136) What does the question Bruno asks Maria show about his development?
The question Bruno asked Maria shows Bruno's development about becoming more of and adolescent and more curious about whats  happening where he is and he's curious about the people, he's thinking about things more.
(137) What is important about Maria's reaction to Bruno's question?
It is important because she doesn't want to say anything about him being a Jew because she doesn't want to get in trouble off father and she doesn't know if shes allowed so she waits for him to make his question more direct.
(138) Why does Bruno want to tell Shmuel about Pavel? What does this highlight about Bruno's understanding of what is going on?Bruno wants to tell Shmuel about Pavel because he wants him to know hes a nice man and also because Maria had just told a secret about him to Bruno. This highlights that Bruno doesn't know whats going on.                                                                                                        (140) What do the boys argue about? Who does Bruno defend? Who is right/wrong? Why?
The boys argue that there are/aren't any good soldiers. Bruno defends his father by repeating "except my Father". In this argument I think that they're both right because from Bruno's perspective, he is right and same for Shmuel. Shmuel is on the bad end so of course he's going to say that they're all bad. 
(140) Shmuel says 'You don't know what it's like here.' and Bruno reacts by saying 'You don't have any sisters, do you?' He says this to avoid an answer to Shmuel. What does this show about Bruno's understanding of what is happening?
This shows that Bruno has absolutely no idea about what is happening over the other side of the fence and that he is still absolutely innocent.

The connection the boys have with Lt. Kotler are that they both dislike him and think that he is annoying

What's changed in the way that Bruno sees Pavel is that he has sympathy for him and thinks that he has feelings just like him and everybody else. 
(143) What important words are used to describe the way the father eats and addresses Bruno? What makes them important? How do they relate to the scene and the father as a character?"no son of mine" - not giving him respect and using his name
 "attacking a leg of lamb" - a vicious motion                                                   What makes these important is that is gives us more detail about the scene and adds more of drama into the scene. 

(145) We learn Lt. Kotler's first name - 'Kurt'. What is it about the sounds in his full name that are important? 'Kurt Kotler'
Alliteration is used to make him stand out a bit more and to make everybody notice him.
(146-7) What do we learn about Kotler's father? What is Bruno's father's reaction/suggestion regarding Kotler's father leaving Germany for Switzerland?
We learn that Kotlers father left Germany at the start of the War and h Bruno's father doesn't talk to Lt. Kotler anymore. Bruno's father reacts in a serious manner regarding why he would leave the "fatherland" in its time of need. He suggests that Kotler's father might have been anti Germany or a Jew. 
(148) What happens to break the tension at the dinner table? What does Kotler do and what are everyone's reactions? What does Bruno decide regarding disagreeing with anyone anymore after seeing what happens to Kotler? What does this relate to historically in regards to the Nazis?
Gretel says she wants to visit Switzerland then Pavel goes to fill up the wine glasses and spills it on Kotler's lap. Kotler yells at Pavel and we assume he kills him or hurts him very badly. Everyone just sits there and doesn't do anything because they are scared. He decided not to disagree with anyone if that's what happens at Out With. This relates to people not speaking up for whats wrong and just staying quiet because "its better off them than me".

How is descriptive language used to enhance the reader's reaction to the poem? It is used to enhance the readers reaction by evoking sympathy and makes everybody feel sorry for her and make them feel more sadness 

Daniel
	Laura Crist

And the child held her hand
A child tiny for almost eight,
Deep blue eyes that dominated his face,
When he explained new events to her,
     that funny doggy,
     that pretty rock,
And the freckles on his cheek,
No one saw a sunrise more perfect,
     to her,
She so vividly smells the fragrance of
     his hair,
     his ears,
     his breath in the morning
She vividly hears that little heartbeat,
     that was hers
     always hers,
     and the laughter,
     that raspy little laugh,
     when he caught her in a conundrum.
All this,
But this is merely the surface,
As she watches her little God sheared,
     and stripped,
For the gas chamber.

The ignorance is a theme because in the book all the way through the book a lot of the characters are very ignorant of what is happening just near them. The main people involved with the ignorance would be Mother. I believe that  mother that is more ignorant because she knows and understand why they are there and what their father is doing and what he is in charge of. 
Fear is the Final main theme of the book so far. Fear is a theme because a lot of people are scared of what will happen if they do speak out and the consequences of speaking out may be far worse for them rather than keeping their mouths shut

What are the main techniques?
The main technique that is used all throughout the book, from start to end is juxtaposition. During the book we are constantly forced to compare one thing with another. an example of this would be: Comparing the jews and what they ware to the Germans and the uniforms that are so perfect. also alliteration is used a lot in the book

Think of 5 important questions for each of these two chapters about how important motifs and themes play a role in each chapter.

1. Why is there such a fuss when the 'Fury' comes over?
2. Who is the 'Fury'?
3. Why did the 'Fury' come before they left for Out-With?
4. Who is Eva?
5. Why does Eva seem to not care about the 'Fury'?
