In our last two lessons on Tuesday we worked with our book again. In the first lesson we thought about lies and promises and about white lies. White lies are used when somebody doesn’t say all of the truth because he doesn’t want to hurt the other.
We talked about Christopher's interpretation of white lies and that he thinks that white lies are statements that have in common that something has to be left out. We found out, that Christopher´s opinion means, that all people lie if they leave something out. This is not right; of course, people leave something out, because some things are not relevant. At the end of the first lesson we discussed Christopher´s traits and peculiarities. For example that he is not touched with pleasure.
In the second lesson we spoke about Christopher´s father and the rules he sets his son.
The rules are:
1.) Don´t ask Mrs. Shears who killed Wellington!
2.) Don’t say the name “Mr. Shears”!
3.) Stop the detective game!
4.) Don´t walk into other people’s garden!
5.) Don´t stick your nose into other people’s business!
6.) Stop writing the book!
Then we talked about how cleverly Christopher handles these regulations. We came to the result that Christopher broke none of the first 5 rules. We think that Christopher takes a passive role; it means that he doesn’t ask about the killing of the dog and only listens to other people. The name “Mr. Shears” is spokes by him only out of the house. He breaks only the last rule. We found out, that if he stopped writing his book than the novel would have ended on the point where his dad forbade him to write it. We all agreed that this would have been horrible.
Think about it!
In addition, we read a few more chapters and then the lesson was also over again. Check again to see like it goes on.
