hello !! j'ai besoin d'aide please !!!

Then I began to move my hands over the Wall -

over names I did not know,

slow at first, and then faster, almost frantically -

at first not knowing why -

but then knowing -

I was looking for one name,

I was looking for the one groove my hands would know

the best,

the one that would confirm what I always knew

to be true but was afraid to admit,

a name that wasn't there but should have been -

Mine.

It was that realization, that surprise,

when it all rushed in, the horribleness too horrible to

remember

too awful to forget

when it all came back to me - overwhelming me,

forcing me to face what i could not accept,

the source of my guilt, my one great sin -

I had lived. I had survived,i come back .

I left the Wall

I ascended from that deep, dark hole a different person

Tired, emotionally exhausted,

I stood there looking back where I had been.

I knew my pain had not magically left me -

I carry it with me today -

but I carry it, it no longer carries me.

This was the healing I could not find before -

The Wall told me my name was not there

and said go live your life, you do not belong here.

And so I do, live my life now, beyond the Wall

Bonjour,

4. what was the narrator looking for ? quote to justify your answer

The narrator was looking for his own name. names on the wall ("I was looking for one name,

I was looking for the one groove my hands would know the best") " a name that wasn't there but should have been -

Mine." Parmi tous les noms gravés sur le mur, il recherchait le sien. Attention à ne citer que les éléments adéquats.

5. what were his feelings at this point in the text ? quote to justify your answer

these feelings were fear and impatience ("slow at first, and then faster, almost frantically" , "to be true but was afraid to admit")

C'est maladroitement dit. La question est : Que ressentait-il à ce moment-là du texte ? =>> He was feeling both impatient and afraid of finding his proper name on the wall.

6. from the information in the second paragraph explain what the Wall made the narrator realise. Quote to justify your answer

=>> The narrator realised why he was feeling guilty. " forcing me to face what I could not accept, the source of my guilt, my one great sin - I had lived. I had survived, I came back."

8. explain the image in the end and what it enabled the narrator to do. Quote when necessary.

In some way, the wall healed the narrator's guilt and pain because his name wasn't carved on it.

From then on it enabled him to live his life.

Tu m'en vois désolé, pour les questions 9 et 10, c'est ton opinion sur chacun des sujets qui importe, pas la mienne.

Pense que le jour du bac, personne ne répondra à ta place et aussi bien à l'écrit qu'à l'oral.
