Read this passage. Use details from the text to explain how Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enjoy

able. Passage - My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well – they were treasures!

Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enyoyable  because he uses the following expressions:

  1. " I became interested in  ........a lathe, a milling machine....". He shows his positive  attitude towards  different tools. Tools that are used to make things out of metal.
  2. " I was hooked." This means that the writer's attention had been caught. The owner  of a machine shop  had invited him to vistit his shop at any time and this offer  really tempted the writer.
  3. " I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well " Kamen is describing with enthusiasm his decision. He liked machines so much he had decided to buy them all. He had bought big and small things. He describes this enthusiatically when he uses the words in bold type.
  4. "they were treasures!" Kamen makes a conclusion and he calls all the things <em>treasures</em>. All the things were the things from the machine shop and they were extremely valuable for him.

Details frome the text that supports Kamen opinion that making things out of metal was enjoyable.

  • He uses the phrase <em>"I was hooked."  </em>Hooked is an adjective used to express that you enjoy something so much that you cannot stop doing it
  • <em>"...They were treasures!"</em> This expression is used to note the excitement Kamen has to be able of buying all the equipment and the little toolboxes  to the man.
  • Finally, another detail we can see it detaches from the text is the point that Kamen ends up buying every machine and toolbox from the man as a closure of his so called self-put challenge

Answer: "great, grey, stone wall", ''Sour smelling cement''

Explanation:

If we are trying to connect both the Berlin Wall picture and Inge's Wall (literary artwork) we must be aware of the story in that Inge's Wall is representing.

Inge's Wall story: In Inge's Wall, there is one wall with two sides, one side is unattainable and alive, unlike the other side where the main character Inge is living. Her side is grey, without color and lifeless. She discovered the bright side when she looked up through the one hole that she found on that wall and then she saw a different world, opposite of her own.

  • If we compare the phrases with the picture, we can see that the wall is great, grey and from the stone and sour smelling cement because that was her point of view in the novel.

Since we cannot see much more, we cannot tell if there are busy traffic or laughter and music on the other side of the wall.

The climax of Their Eyes Were Watching God happens when Janie kills Tea Cake with the rifle.

At this point, Tea Cake is very sick and acting crazy. He is accusing her of betraying him and is utterly paranoid. She finds a gun under his pillow and becomes increasingly afraid.

When he later grabs the gun and attempts to shoot her, she retaliates with a rifle, shooting him in self-defense. This moment is important because Janie has stood up for herself and saved her life, even against the man she loved. This moment is a defining one for her character.
