-Find below the answers for chapter 6 I am David summary questions. Compare your work to mine.
Chapter 6 Summary Questions-Answers
1. In I am David, a historical novel written by Anne Holm, imagery can be found in the beautiful furniture, carved woodwork, the coloured, stained glass windows, burning candles in front of beautiful art, and the sound of a man praying quietly. All these images create sounds and sensations for the readers; we can "see" the setting of the church.
2. a) In I am David, a historical novel written by Anne Holm, it's a coincidence that the priest is praying to St. Christopher because this saint is the patron of travellers; this means that he watches over them and protects him. David is a child travelling alone so it's interesting that the priest's prayers are to the saint who would be watching over David.
b) David disagrees with the priest's ideas and he feels that a person shouldn't change his or her mind or let others influence your opinion.
3. In I am David, a historical novel written by Anne Holm, David doesn't want to go on living. This is because he remembers Johannes's death and how he himself felt like dying (because of the sadness) so he had decided to never grow fond on anyone ever again. He doesn't want to live because he has seen what he will never possess/he knows he is not an ordinary boy/he knows that he will never belong. He prays to thank God for the help and to tell him he doesn't need his help anymore because he doesn't want to live.
4. In I am David, a historical novel written by Anne Holm, David meets a woman named Signora Bang. He likes her because she speaks to him in a mature way, not a childish/baby-like boy as if he were a small child.
5. In I am David, a historical novel written by Anne Holm, Signora Bang's friend, Edith Hjorth Fengel and her husband lived abroad in a dangerous country, they were arrested with their one-year old son named David, the husband and son were killed, a guard smuggled Edith out, and he did this because the guard knew her and loved her.
6. (answers will vary but you should infer that Signora Bang's friend is David's mother and the guard is the man who watched over David all these years and helped him escape.) Understand that David's father was killed.

-Please remember that whenever you write about literature, you must include TAG. While many of you remember it, you are still putting quotation marks around the book title; that is wrong. You must underline or use italics for book titles since quotation marks are for poems, short stories, articles, and songs.
-You must hand in this work--we're coming into the last few assignments and they really do make a difference to you final score. When your name is called, send in your work!

-Yesterday, I collected homework for Middle Ages Towns & Guilds. Find the answers below; compare your work to mine then scroll down for today's topic.
Towns & Guilds - Answers
1. Towns developed around castles because it
provided protection from enemies. Also,
the castles inhabitants needed supplies so by being close, the people who sold
supplies and services had lots of people to sell to.
2. (answers will vary but could include the following) Two hazards of living in a medieval town were that it was dirty with waste in the streets, it was easy to catch illnesses because of all the germs, and it was dangerous because buildings were built of wood and would catch on fire easily.
3. a) A guild is a collection of workers who are skilled in the same craft and it sets regulations for working conditions.
b) Two goals of a guild were to prevent non-members from working in that same craft, to establish the rules for apprenticeship (training) in that craft, to set standards of quality so all members were making the same product with the same value, and to set prices so all members received the same money for the same product.
4. Guilds affected everyday life because it gave members protection against abusive employers and non-members who wanted to steal their job, raised their standard of living by guaranteeing a certain amount of money, and it looked after members to reduce their suffering.
5. Guilds made life better for women because they could inherit their husband’s membership or they could join themselves which means these women who would otherwise have no income, could now have a job and care for the family.
