Assignment 1 Task 1

All will be different now. I shall defy Gebu, I shall leave the street of the Crooked Dog forever. Ah, then anything will be possible! Ranofer says this towards the end of chapter 2 I can foreshadow that Ranofer going to do something and will upset Gebu and put him in danger. "Watch your tongue." Gebu raised one fist. With the other he shoved Ranofer against the wall and pinned him there. By reading thise passage about Ranofer I can tell that he's a violent person and he's beat up Ranofer alot of times. Your first example is perfect but your second example does not guess what will happen in the future, it tells about the present.

Task 2 Why is Ranofer so scared of Gebu? Why does Gebu treat Ranofer so badly?

I don't really know if Ranofer is so scared of gebu and all and why gebu treat Ranofer so badly is because they hate each other and all it's also easy to see. Aadil

Add your two questions.

Assignment 2 Task 1 Hequet- Good Friend

On page 104 it says, "Ranofer!" cried his friend, and the face split into a grin of delight. This shows that Heqet is being a good friend to Ranofer by being happy to see him even though they hadn't seen each other for a while.

On page 112 it says"' I hate cheese,' Heqet said suddenly. ' I wish they would give us something else to eat with our bread at the Apprentices' Quarters. Now we never have lotus root, except boiled, and I like it better raw, don't you?' 'I don't like it at all,' said Ranofer, startled to truthfulness. 'Do you really hate cheese?' 'I do. Let's trade.'" This shows Hequet is a good friend because he's giving Ranofer his cheese for a lotus root.

Ranofer- Fearful

=
On page 100 it says " Then even more fearful beings like the Women With Her Head Backwards snatched away children whose mothers did not bound amulets about their wrists and said the night spell over them before they slept." This shows Ranofer is very fearful because he's being very superstitious and is afraid of what he thinks is a demon. =====

=
On page 91 it says "Suppose my hands become like that, he was thinking. Why, i could never gold work again. I could never handle the tweezers, solder a delicate joint, or shape a little gold leave. I would be good for nothing but rough work, I could never learn skill in anything." This shows Ranofer is fearful because he's afraid of never gold working again and is afraid of never achieving his dreams because his hands will get damaged from stonecutting. =====

Assignment 3 Task 1 I think this picture shows the one of the major themes of mid-chapter 9 which is spying because Ranofer wondered how Gebu got so rich. Ranofer needed proof to see if Gebu was stealing so he went asking Heqet and the Ancient for help on spying on Gebu. They agreed to tell each other what they will learn from the spying. Ranofer will watch Gebu, Heqet will watch Wenamon, and the Ancient will watch the river captain, Setma. The Ancient talked to Ranofer and told him not to spy Gebu at night because of khefts. After that Ranofer went home and Gebu was home. Ranofer took some food from the storeroom and went under a tree to watch Gebu. That night Ranofer follows Gebu to find out where he goes. Gebu goes to Mutra’s wineshop. Ranofer was very disappointed because he just sat there and learned nothing.

HAHA this picture I think is awesome. If you would show a person this picture and they haven't read chapter 9 they would guess that it involves spying and secrecy. I think you described the situation clearly but not every detail. Overall I think you did a good job and nobody can't disagree that this doesn't show spying. -Victor Deboutte

Qetsia, I also think your picture does a great job showing what this part of the book is about.
