Thursday

Part III: Words Misunderstood
Journal prompts for Monday/Tuesday:
1. Reread page 111-114. Do you agree more with Franz's understanding of "Strength" and "Living in Truth" or with Sabina's interpretation of those words?
2. Comment on the irony – or whatever else you see – in this section's ending image in which Franz closes his eyes as he listens to the gray-haired man.
3. Why does Franz think his life is light and Sabina's heavy? Do you agree that Sabina's experiences with oppression give her life weight? Is Czechoslovakia heavier than Switzerland?
4. What does Sabina mean by "beauty by mistake," and what do you think of it?
5. If you wish to write on an idea you are considering for WLA 1, and you see something that stimulates your thinking in this section, write about that idea instead.

Show clearly that you have read!
