Assignment #3

One of the things I would like to discuss is whether Pablo really did hear the group planning about how to kill him, or if he had just happened to know that they were talking about him and asked them straight up. I mean, it says that he went out to tent to his horses, but how the heck do we know that's true and he wasn't just standing at the side of the door listening to everything the group was saying about him. The second thing is, is Robert Jordan really going to kill Pablo, or will he back out of it at the last second. Everyone tells him that he should kill Pablo because he isn't trustworthy and he's pretty sullen and shady, but maybe Robert will end sympathizing the man just not kill. Don't know if I'm making sense here.

One character I would like to discuss about it is Pablo. What's up with that man? All I really know about him is that he's always sullen, he gets a rush when killing, he is against the bombing of the bridge, he is called a horse-lover, and he seems to have some kind of plan to betray the group. We don't really know about his past life. We know about his present life, but not much about the past.

A literary element I recognized in this chapters is flashback, when Robert Jordan is remembers the conversation he had with Karkov about Mitchell and how he was advised by him to read some philosophy, and then was complimented by him on some book he wrote.
