Hong: "It is said that [Jesse's Army] have a very special way of torturing prisoners. They use a tournevis.(screwdriver)... They place it into the ear and drive it through the brain with a carpenter's hammer." (Vea, 84)
Jesse: "They won't shot you. You can take my word for it." (83)"There were bullet holes in [Hong's] body... In Hong's left ear there was a rectangular slot; an empty mineshaft that plunged downward through soft cartilage into the auditory canal, and from there it sliced and severed the optic nerve and pons..."(85)

This quotes are significant because it shows that things are not what it seems. Jesse thought that Hong wouldn't be tortured by his Army and Jesse evens told Hong that he would be killed. But towards the end of the chapter Jesse finds out that Hong was killed and tortured. This is meaningful because it show that you never know someone or a group of people well and that things are not always what it seems.

Q1: In the end of page 85, the Frenchwoman ask Jesse if he knew Hong, why do you think Jesse said he didn't knew Hong?
Q2: Who is the Frenchlady that ask questions? (PG. 85)
1) I believe that Jesse said he didn't know Hong because he didn't want to tell them of the conditions of which he met him. Or it could be because he felt the guilt of telling Hong that he would not die but in fact he was killed by the very people that Jesse followed.
ReplyDelete2)The lady was a french photographer who was the one who pointed out the bodies to Jesse which he futher examined and found out that Hong laid among the dead corpses.
1)I think he said that he didnt know hong because he promised him that he wasnt going to get hurt but it turned out that they did kill him. He might of felt guilty and wanted to bury his past.
