Death Row - The end

Hey, 

today we first commented on the text and here is what we said about the characters and their feelings:

At the beginning, the atmosphere is tense. The two characters are ill-at-ease. They don’t look at each other and they don’t know what to say. Adam is under stress / distressed / anxious because he doesn’t want Sam to know they are grand-father and grand-son.

Then we continued to talk about the text and more precisely about the way Sam talked. Here is what we said:

Sam is resigned and desperate. He speaks in a sad and ironic tone. He doesn’t want to die.
He uses colloquial language; he doesn’t care about living or dying.
He calls the politicians “clown”, he thinks very little of them. He despises / scorns them.

Colloquial language:
- “they're killing them like flies”
- “like hell”
- “clowns”
- “I’ll get to sniff the gas.

Methods of execution:

Firing squad ----------- To be shot
Hanging ----------- To be hanged
Electric chair ----------- To be electrocuted

Finally, we corrected the worksheet you had to complete for today. Here is the correction:

"to be written by Quentin"

HW: learn your lesson and get ready to talk.
