Fatelessness Language Analysis

Pages 90 and 91

Theme: Innocence

"I realized: the fact that I saw no sing of movement, of life, around them. But then it occured to me that this must be only natural". We can see that Gyurka doesn't really understand what is happening and has an innocence explanation for everything, in this case he thought it was "working hour".

"It was al very clean, tidy and pretty" In this case he also dind't knew what was going on, he thought it was a good place.

"The latter was very squad of jovial appearance, and exceesingly fat, his belly beggining at his neck." By last, as said before, Gyurka is very innocent, he doesn't know the harsh time he will had by now.

Theme: Hopelessness

Explanation: Hopelessness can be seen in these pages in many ocassions, is the case of the use of words like "gray sky", "perpetual", "furry hoarfroast", "hopeless struggle", "I gave up". All of these phrases, help us understad the harsh life of Gyurka, he was starting to lose hope, he became depressed.

Even when he saw the bus eating his wound, he described the following: "the gluttony", "the teeming", "the voracity", "the appetite", "were vaguely familiar", which really meant what he was feeling from inside. Also as he was so alone and sad, he started to like the presence of the bugs, as if they were his friends.

Theme: Interaction

Explanation: "Bandi Citrom promptly warned me away from them: 'You lose any will to live just looking at them'". In this case we can see that Gyurka tries to interact with the muslims but he was warned to better keep aside as they where "dangerous".

"Their first question was 'Rayds di Yeddish?' when I told them that not... I became a nonperson, they looked at me as if I were this air".

On this ocassion, the hungarian tried to interact with the muslims but as the hungarian are different and don't speak Yiddish, the muslims dind't care about them and so the muslims did not accept to interact with the hungarian.

The Curious Incident and Gyuri's Mind.

The Curious Incident

1.- It tells us that Christopher's mind receive and collect a lot of information, he haves a very good memory, but he doesn't know or have the ability to decide wherever if the information he receives is important or not to remember.

2.- People choose to describe what is important or significant to them because it have a meaning for them.

3.- Both, some people are lazy as they don't want to receive information and also people select in a different way what they receive because of the different significances and meaning people give to different things.

4.- We should select in a different way that Christopher and reduce what we see because if we select like him, we would be full of meaningless information that will overpass our limit and finally make us stressed.

5.- What governs they way we select what we perceive is our ability to detect what is important or not for us.

6.- The part that language plays in the way we select our perceptions, is that it helps us describe and understand what we see as we can explain our perspective.

7.- It tells us that Christopher's is an untrained one because he doesn't have the ability to detect what is important or not and because of that he is stressed as he is over passed by information. Our one's are trained by many years of school, analyzing different information so we can define what is important or not.

Gyuri's Mind.

1.- This tell us that Gyuri's mind works like a child one, as his thoughts were very innocent, for him everything was good, as his mind couldn't let him realize the horrific things that would come next.

2.- Most 13-year-old children choose to describe what they want for their future, their accomplishments, what they need, and how successful will they be on their lives. Usually in Chile we see all of these in terms of football, most of the 13-year- old children want to be professional football players, some of them say they will play for Colo Colo, Universidad de Chile, etc. and they say they will be very successful and they even compare with some of the greatest football players.

3.- Language plays an interesting part in the way Gyuri selects his perceptions as he uses the language to express his feelings, all mostly positive as his childish and innocent mind just let him look at good things he is living, or turn the bad things into good things.

4.- Based on the whole novel, this passage is not reliable in relation to the rest of the story, as this was just the beginning of a "nightmare", which would finally change his way to see things, so at this time he had not experienced what really matters to the rest of the story.
