The main character and the main events

17.01.2012

Hi guys,

today we first warmed up with whether you had already been abroad or not. Here is what we said:

Warm up: Have you ever been to a foreign country / abroad / outside of France.

+ Yes, I have visited many foreign countries. I've been to Italy, Mexico, Belgium,...

I went to Poland two years ago to visit my family.

- No, I've never been abroad. I stay in France during my holidays and I go to "Charente maritime" because my father loves it.

Then we continued talking about the text and studying it in more details. We especially focused on time elements to determine when the scene could take place. Here is what we said about it:

We can assume that the scene takes place... / The scene may take place... a long time after the pogrom because Jacob's wound is healed: he doesn't limp a lot anymore. He says that the long pogrom isn't over yet; if he goes back to Russia he will get killed.

Voc :

slightly = not a lot

[ai]

-> He doesn't limp a lot anymore = he limps slightly

a wound

[u:]

to heal = to be in good health again

[i:] [e]

a Cossack = a Russian soldier

a bullet
