Title of Book: The Promise
|
|||
|
|
Author of Book: Chaim Potok
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.In 10-12 sentences, write a brief outline of the plot of the novel. Be
|
|||
|
|
sure to make clear the major conflict of the story.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.In the beginning of the novel, the main character, Reuben, is spending
|
|||
|
|
some time with his father at their cottage. His friend, Rachel is also
|
|||
|
|
vacationing nearby. Reuben finds out that Rachel's 14 year old cousin,
|
|||
|
|
Michael, is mentally ill, and Reuben seems to be the only person Michael
|
|||
|
|
will talk to. Near the end of the summer, Reuben's best friend Danny comes
|
|||
|
|
to visit Reuben and the Gordons (Rachel's family) invite Danny over to
|
|||
|
|
discuss Michael because Danny is a genius, and he is studying psychology.
|
|||
|
|
At the summer's end, Michael is put into the treatment centre at which
|
|||
|
|
Danny is working. Reuben becomes friends with Michael's father, Abraham
|
|||
|
|
Gordon, a very respected scholar. Unfortunately, his ideas are not approved
|
|||
|
|
by Reuben's professor, Rav Kalman. Rav Kalman tells Reuben that if he
|
|||
|
|
continues to see Abraham and Michael Gordon, he will not be given his
|
|||
|
|
smicha, the degree which he has been working to get for so long. Also,
|
|||
|
|
Michael does not respond well to the treatment centre, and bec omes
|
|||
|
|
violent. Danny decides to use an experimental treatment on Michael, which
|
|||
|
|
involves not letting him talk to anyone or interact with anything except
|
|||
|
|
his therapist. The major conflict is when Michael becomes catatonic, and it
|
|||
|
|
seems as if Reuben will not get his smicha and Michael will never be cured.
|
|||
|
|
Danny decides to have a long conversation with Rav Kalman, and convinces
|
|||
|
|
him to at least give Reuben the smicha examination. During the examination,
|
|||
|
|
Reuben uses a method called test emendation, which is strictly forbidden by
|
|||
|
|
his school. Reuben backs up his arguments so well, that Rav Kalman does
|
|||
|
|
give him smicha, and when Reuben tells this to Michael (although Michael is
|
|||
|
|
in a comatose state) Michael awakes and tells Reuben, Danny and his parents
|
|||
|
|
that he hates his father because when his father writes a book, all the
|
|||
|
|
people who disagree with his ideas write hateful articles, and
|
|||
|
|
excommunicate the Gordon family.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2.What is the setting of the novel?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2.The novel is set in Willamsburg, Brooklyn, in the 1950's.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3.In one sentence, state the climax of the novel. Explain how it solves the
|
|||
|
|
conflict.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3.The climax of this novel is when Reuben receives his smicha because it
|
|||
|
|
solves the problem of Reuben not getting his smicha, and when Reuben tells
|
|||
|
|
Michael that he received smicha, Michael wakes up and tells Reuben and
|
|||
|
|
Danny everything.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4.Name 2 important character traits of a major character in the novel. Then
|
|||
|
|
give 2 examples from the story demonstrating each trait.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4.The character I am examining is Danny Saunders.
|
|||
|
|
The first character trait is that Danny was very trustworthy.
|
|||
|
|
Example 1: " `I trust him....I needed someone I could trust....someone I
|
|||
|
|
could trust absolutely and without the slightest reservation. I
|
|||
|
|
trust Daniel Saunders.' " pg. 244
|
|||
|
|
Example 2: My second example is that Dr. Altman, Danny's supervisor at the
|
|||
|
|
treatment centre, trusted Danny enough to let him go ahead with the
|
|||
|
|
experiment on Michael.
|
|||
|
|
The second character trait is intensity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Example 1: " He was unshaven and his eyes blinked repeatedly and he looked
|
|||
|
|
as though he had not slept in a long time...`Went back?' I
|
|||
|
|
stared at him. `You weren't home for Shabbat?'...`I've been at
|
|||
|
|
the treatment centre since three in the morning.'" pg.256
|
|||
|
|
Example 2: " Danny was playing volleyball the way he had once played
|
|||
|
|
baseball, with an intense, hungry eagerness to win." pg.380
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5.Circle one of the following categories below to describe how you would
|
|||
|
|
rate the book. Making reference to the novel's subject matter, language,
|
|||
|
|
character development and other elements, explain why you rated the book as
|
|||
|
|
you did.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5.I would rate the book as very interesting. I would rate it in this way
|
|||
|
|
becuase, first, I could indentify with the subject. I knew most of the
|
|||
|
|
Hebrew or Yiddish terms before the author translated them, and although it
|
|||
|
|
did not apply directly to me, I could see paralels between the novel and my
|
|||
|
|
own life. The language in the novel was well choosen, at an in-between
|
|||
|
|
level, not too hard to understand, but very well written. Some of the
|
|||
|
|
metaphores used in the book were so brilliant, I would have rather done a
|
|||
|
|
full novel study of this book, because I know I must have missed so much of
|
|||
|
|
the depth of the novel.
