Passage One
"Yes, he can...I am jealous." Pg.154
I think this passage is important because it may be a foreshadowing. I think that Pilar is going to betray everyone, especially Robert Jordan, and she's going to kill Maria. To me is seems like she envies Maria so much for being so pretty and youthful that she might actually kill her. She complains a lot about the way she looks, and seems to envy Maria for hers. She says that she will let Maria and Robert Jordan be together, but I think that is a big fat lie. This is only my opinion.
Passage 2
"How many times...in this way." Pg.134
This passage is important to me because it shows how no matter on what side of the war you are. Either Fascist or Republican, they all suffer from the loss of a loved one such as a mother, father, brother, sister,etc. It also shows how even though one side is supposedly the "good" side, they are still bad because of all the deaths they cause. So, no matter what side you are on, the "good" or "bad" you'll still suffer one way or another because of their actions, which will probably end up affecting you in the distant furture.
I liked the quotes that you picked, and thought it was cool how you explained the why you picked of both of them. I would have never been able to drawn that out just by reading those two passages.
ReplyDeleteI want to disagree on pilar betraying them because we can't tell if she is jealous. She is probably tired of all this fighting and life has gotten the best of her. Eben Rober sais she wasn't ugly. It was just on her mind.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the 2nd one no matter what side you are on, you still suffer from the fighting.
