week two
I think the ideas about justice that are presented in this chapter is justice is never truly served because like Jesse said life is like a war. " There are seventy - five wars going on in this world right now.."(vea.p63)If there are wars going on 24/7 when is there even time to think about justice.I think the point Jesse made about war ties greatly in to justice because how can justice be severed is the world is a war. Also most of this chapter is set in jail,which shows jail is not showing justice for anyone because jail doesn't rehabilitate people and change so the can be better. its just a place where they are looked away ,and that defiantly does show any type of justice.

1.Okay in this chapter it was a lot of imagery, do you find the imagery distracting when reading?
ReplyDelete2.Do u think Jesse should be Benerad's laywer?
This chapter presents that justice is injustice. As jesse goes back and forth between the past and present examples of injustice is being portrayed with those who are in jail. "As einstein had predicted, their souls and their futures would be completely unchanged, while the world around them had evolved and gone." The=e things that are described in jail represents how injustice the system is. Throughout this chapter justice is being portrayed as not applicable. Jesse being a defense attorney can also represent injustice because he may have to defend one who is wrong.I think the court system, those being in jail, and jesse being an defense attorney all coicides with justice and how it is not distributed.
ReplyDeleteQ1. No I do not find imagery distracting when reading the novel because it helps me depict an mental image of in my head so I can better understand whats going on. I see imagery as an attention grabber because once I envision the image I will better understand and be interested in what's going on.

ReplyDelete- I chose this quote because I always felt this book had a little bit of racism or colorism in it and this quote proved it. The imagery in this quote was so raciest,But very descriptive .
