Short Answer: 1. Romain's effect on Michel was that of a big brother. Michel looked up to Romain, and looked to him for guidance through his adolescent life. In this effect of leading, Romain helped Michel become a man by teaching him the hard truths of life. An example of this is that Romain told Michel straight out that Christophe was his father, even though Michel did not want to admit that fact. 2. Ka's father threw away the statue because he felt like he did not deserve a statue. He says "You see, Ka, your father was the hunter, not the prey." Ka's father believes that the statue represented something he wasn't, the statue represented the lie that he has been living all those years. Ka's father throwing away the statue in the river symbolizes him throwing away all the lies he has told everybody. He throws away the lies by deciding to tell Ka the truth. 3. The macuotes obtained the name of " Dew Breakers" because they are people who work for the Haitian government and they kidnap conspirators against the government and take them to torturing camps. They often do the kidnapping in the early morning before dawn and are the first to break the dew on the ground. 4. The difference between the president being either a short or long tailed monkey is in his actions. When the president is a short tailed monkey, he will stay on the ground like the monkey, that president would not abandon his people and would stay in his country no matter what. The long-tailed president monkey would swing from tree to tree, leaving his country when the going got tough and abandoning his people. 5. When Mariselle says ,"'You have so much time ahead to redo these things, retake these test, reshape your whole life.'", I think that she means that with all the time left in Freda's life, she can solve all of her problems, fix her life, and build a new one for herself. All of these women feel a great pain in them from being kicked out of Haiti, and Mariselle is explaining that they can all get over this, and build a new life for themselves. 6. A very likely reason Anne is so religious is because she feels the need to pray for her family. It can be inferred that she would pray for her passed away brother who drowned when he was young. Also it is very possible she prays for her husband to help him ascend to heaven when he passes away because pf the horrific events he had performed in his past that would hault his ascension into heaven. The final reason would be for her daughter who doesn't really feel the connection to God. For example Ka says " It was only a Mass. Nothing more." This shows that Anne may pray for her to make up for her daughter's resistance to accepting God. 7. The dew breaker's sense of right and wrong is very vague, because he has no regard for human life. He shows this by mindlessly killing people, and not feeling any remorse at all. The dew breaker gains a sense of right and wrong once he has a family, because he finally feels like a horrible person for the things he has done. The preacher has a sense of right and wrong, because that is what he preaches to the congregation at his church. He realizes the dew breakers intentions of killing him, and decides to not show fear, thus becoming a martyr for the people, which is what the dew breakers associates didn't want. 8. I believe Ka's father should have informed Ka of his past because if he didn't he was never going to feel truly liberated. Just like Anna said Ka and Anna saved Ka's father. Anna says " You and me, we save him...He a seed thrown in a rock. You, me, we make him take root." Ka's father would have never felt truly saved and grown until Ka knew the truth and forgives him. I also believe it was ok for Ka's father to tell Ka because he believed that one day Ka was going to forgive him. Like when she said "Maybe his past offered more choices than either hunter or prey." Ka believe that maybe her father wasn't just all bad but that he also had some good. So by Ka's father telling Ka the truth he could finally start living his new life.

Denise, what happened to having me do number 8?

Essay Questions: 1. For the punishment of the Dew Breaker, each of the characters would most likely agree to having him admit his sins, as well as see the damage that he gave to each of them. Each of the characters was, even if unknowingly, affected by the actions of the Dew Breaker. They each hold different grudges against him. Dany felt angry and murderous, but when the chance came, he did not harm the Dew Breaker. "Looking down at the barber's face, which had shrunk so much over the years, he lost the desire to kill. ... It was the realization that he would never know why - why one single person had been given the power to destroy his entire life." As with Anne, whose step-brother was murdered on the day she met the Dew Breaker, the feeling of anger slowly went away. "It was more of a strained kind of attachment, yet she could no longer imagine her life without it." Due to the Dew Breaker's own feelings of guilt and his knowledge of the lives he destroyed, having him admit his crimes and seeing those lives would be tourture to the tourturer. I agree with this punishment, and find that in creatintg my own I would come to the same conclution. The psycological damage that would have plauged the Dew Breaker's mind since he murdered would be punishment enough, but haveing to actually admit his crimes to those whos crys haunt him would kill the Dew Breaker from the inside out. Much to the dismay of the Dew Breaker, his punishments would be mainly pshycological, and therefore hurt him for longer than any physical wounds. 2. I believed that the Dew Breaker never really wanted to kill the preacher but he knew that killing the preacher was the only way to escape his life. I believe this because before the Dew Breaker received the orders to kill the preacher he was already preparing to leave by having money saved and a plan to escape. The Dew breaker also says" He could easily convince himself before killing the preacher." Why would he feel the need to convince himself to kill the preacher if he truly wanted to kill the preacher. I also believe that the Dew Breaker didn't want to kill the preacher because he was stalling to much. Like he said "Considering the preacher's stubbornness made him tap his index finger on the .38... a nervous habit, something he did whenever he caught himself thinking too much, too hard, for too long." Why would he have to think so much about killing the preacher if he really wanted to. If he didn't really care about the preacher he could have just walked into his house and shot him to get it over with. I also believe the Dew Breaker didn't want to kill the preacher because when he was talking to the boy under the street light he wanted to keep giving the boy money and "Buy that child a future....perhaps not the future he would have himself, not the path his life would take but another kind of destiny." This means that the Dew Breaker does not want the child to have the life he has. This shows that the Dew Breaker has compassion and doesn't like the life he is living. All of these characteristics show that the Dew Breaker didn't really want to kill the preacher but he felt it was necessary, so he could start his new life. 3. I think that the couple living in Ka's family's basement was wrong when they decided to cheat on each other because they hadn't seen each other for so many years. If they were both so desperate that they couldn't stand being away from each other so long, then the man should've just decided to not leave, and to stay with his wife. The man cheated with many women, whom he didn't know, and the wife cheated with only the neighbor, but multiple times. This shows that they almost have a disregard for their relationship because of the various times they both cheated. It was unnecessary, and shows how their relationship has a foundation of deception and lies. The woman says, " Someone had said that people lie only at the beginning of relationships. The middle is where the truth resides.", yet in the middle of their relationship they still continue to lie to each other. The man said, "those women... never meant much to him anyway.", yet he kept seeing them and never told his wife about them. Again we see the basis of deception when it comes to those 7 years of absence from each other. 4. The meaning of the quote " I'm free, I am finally free" is more than just a lie that the Dew Breaker told to Anne. The statement means that the Dew Breaker finally acknowledges to himself that he no longer will work for the government as an agent to kill or kidnap conspirators against the government and that he will not return to this type of work. The quote also means that he has been trying to escape from his violent life as a " hunter" ( which he names himself in the beginning of the book while opening up to his daughter about his past) for some time but hasn't had the will to force himself to leave it. You can see this in the text when the Dew Breaker says at the beginning of the Dew Breaker chapter " He had been constantly thinking of getting out of this life, moving to Florida, or even New York." This quote directly shows that the Dew Breaker was planning on leaving his life of causing terror and violence but he was trying to wait for the right opportunity. Although he had thought about abandoning this life, the moment that the thought actually became action was when the preacher scarred him. This event completely changed the Dew Breaker forever. The importance behind this quote is that when he made this statement, he truely believed he was never returning to his life of being a dew breaker. From that moment on he was a completely changed person and never committed anymore horrific acts again. The quote is the marker of when his entire outlook on life was changed to make him a better person.

Essential Questions: 1. I believe that throughout the book there are parts that allude to a theme that discusses how people can redeem themselves, even after committing horrific acts of violence. Much of the book is based on remorse for events that occured in the characters lives. Basically all these characters that felt remorse changed themselves to make up for the events that occured in their past. A strong example of this is Claude, who is in the chapter Night Talkers. In this chapter he says to Danny " Yes, I killed my old man.... I was fourteen and strung out on . He came into my room and took the . I had a gun I was using to protect myself out on the street. I threatened him with it. He wouldn't give my back, so I shot him." From reading this quote you can see that before, Claude was a very cold and emotionless type of person. Although this event seems very cruel and you may judge that he could not change but in the text Claude makes another statement to Danny saying "I've done something really bad that makes me want to live my life like a *** angel now." This shows us that the author very likely could be imposing the lesson on us that people can always change and that everyone can redeem themselves no matter how horrific the act. Another great example is the Dew Breaker himself who went from being a man who killed and tortured people with no regret to a man of sympathy and peaceful attitudes. Before, the Dew Breaker easily killed people with no regret but after he was scarred from the preacher his whole life turned around on him. The Dew Breaker even said " I'm free, I am finally free." to explain that he has left his life of violence. From that moment on he had a totally different outlook on life. He married and had a daughter and never committed a crime again. This also shows us that the author very possibly is informing us through this book that some people can redeem themselves and change no matter how awful their pasts were. 2. The main victim of the story is the very man who supplied others with so much pain, the Dew Breaker. The Dew Breaker began his career working for the government when he was young and naive, and though he may have liked it at one point, certainly does not by the end of his career. Sitting in the car before his last hit, the Dew Breaker tried to convince himself that murdering the preacher was for the greater good. "...he could easily convince himself before killing the preacher that being Catholic, he wasn't supposed to like the Protestants anyway. ... So killing someone like the preacher wouldn't make him feel guilty for long, no matter where he had to do it." In this self-convincing, the Dew Breaker actually reveals that he has no desire to kill the preacher, that his job has become just that, a job. The Dew Breaker also speaks of getting out of his job. "He had been constantly thinking about getting out of this life, moving to Florida, or even New York, making himself part of the new Haitian communities there... ...But he couldn't leave until he followed his orders, proved his loyalty, and killed the preacher." The Dew Breaker wants to leave his life behind him, though not so much as to get out of touch with his roots, which is why he would stay in a Haitian community. This will to get away shows that the Dew Breaker is conscious of his actions, and wants to, if even subconsciously, repent. This guilt from his life turns the Dew Breaker into a victim. With the Dew Breaker living out his life despite this building guilt, and always having a visual of his actions staring back at him in the mirror everyday (his scar), the Dew Breaker has become the main victim of the story of his own actions. 3. The Dew breaker (Ka's father) lied and deceived his wife (Anne) about his past, but told her when she got pregnant, because that made sure she couldn't leave him. When she finally was told, she still loved him, so she decided to not tell Ka until she was old enough to handle it. The couple living in Ka's family's basement lies to each other about what they did when they were separated from each other for 7 years. The wife failed to tell her husband about the countless nights she slept with their neighbor at her house and at his. The husband failed to tell his wife about all the women he would have over at early-morning hours to sleep with. The Dew breaker also lied to his associates about leaving the business after he killed the preacher. When the preacher knew that he was probably going to be killed by someone in the Haitan government, he acted like nothing was going to happen when he was around his congregation. This shows that these characters in this book either care too much about a person so they hide the truth, or they care too much about the effect on them that they lie. 4. I believe the significance the scar has on the Dew Breaker is that it reminds him of the life he used to live and of the web of lie's he is living in now. The scar represents all the bad things he did in life, like killing the preacher. Just like the preacher said " Every time he looked in the mirror, he would have to confront this mark and remeber him. Whenever people asked what happened to his face, he would have to lie, a lie that would further remind him of the truth." And that is all true becasue everytime he looked in the mirror he would see all the people he killed or tortured and sometimes for no reason. I also believe the scar will remind the Dew Breaker of all the reasons why he doesn't want to go back to being that man. It would make the Dew Breaker want to be a better person. Also this scar represents that the choices you make will always be there. For example the Dew Breaker may be ashamed of all the bad choices he made but that doesn't mean that he can just be sorry and everything will be o.k. No, every choice you make has a consequence and the Dew breaker will have to live with that consequence for the rest of his life.
