"You knew nothing of the sort. As I recall, I left you standing on the other side of the wall the other day. Thats where you'll always belong- on the other side of things."She's mocking him. It doesn't seem a wise course, but I've never found my self surrounded by virile Gypsy men in the middle of the night woods before. I'm in no position to advise or argue. I can only hold my breath and wait.
Ithal steps closer, toys with the cape's ribbon at the hollow of Felicity's throat. His voice is boisterous, laughing, but the smile doesn't travel to the eyes. They are wounded and angry. "I'm not on that side of the wall tonight."
Page 208, Chapter Eighteen
As this story develops you can see the tone in Ithals voice. Ithal seems to be rude for the fact that the boy is being mocked and no one cares to stand up and say something .
1. Would you stand up for him? Why or Why not?
I think that I would stick up for him because I'm the type of person who would want to help out someone who has no friends unless they are rude or mean that would make me change my mind.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I'm the type of person that feels bad for others even when I'm not directly affected. I think that I would stick up for him maily to make him happy, and also because I don't want to be mean.
ReplyDeleteSince Ithal is a gypsy, he probably doesn't know much about manners or if he is being rude. From the prospective shown in the book, tone is clearly used to give off this idea. The way Felicity provokes him can only make the situation worse. I would take Ithal's side. Felicity is leading him on and only embarasses him in front of others. Basically I agree with Amanda.
