1.) I the beginning of the story Elie knew that he had to kill John Dawson an English man that is one of the many enemies, of the freedom fighters. In the background a baby is crying the entire time Elie is thinking. later on the group of freedom fighters are discussing how they all had escaped death. such as Joab who had pretend that he was mentally ill by making the english think that, he thought that he was dead. Iliana ran a freedom fighter radio show eventually the english figured out the the main area in which she was. but she had a head cold so her voice was different compare to the recorded radio shows they had so she got away without getting in trouble. And Gideon believes that god had saved his life, because when he was being tortured he wanted to shout out every thing that he knew and did but didn't because he felt looking upon him, eventually they had to let him go because he wasn't giving them anything. Elie has a flash back and is walking with Catherine and had told her a story about a young boy who prayed to god to save his ill dyeing father. it worked but the boy turned into a prayer and floated away. She later on another day asked him why he go around with the other boys and girls in camp. Elie replied "Because they speak a language I don't understand." she said that some of the girls speak german but he said that he didn't have anything to say to them. she smiled and said that all you have to do is love them. when Elie's last day came around he and Catherine they sat under the tree but he felt sad and lonely. She broke the silence by saying that they were going to make love. He became terrified she undressed and he became petrified but he to became un dressed as well but be fore they could do anything Elie wanted to say soothing but Catherine refused but he eventually said that he loved her and then embarrassed garbed his clothes and ran away.
2.) I predict that when dawn comes around and the execution has to take place Elie will end up begrudgingly killing the English man. and the rest of his life look at himself as a murder. find it hard to go on but will regret it every day for the rest of his life.
3.) I, in this situation would try and ponder ways of not having to go through with the execution. Later on I would probably have to except that i would have to kill this man i didn't even know. Because if i were not to kill John Dawson I would most likely be seen as a traitor and be given some kind of harsh punishment. Also the man would probably just be killed by someone else in the end.
