going to die, and he is going to die a hero. The story offers a great deal of foreshadowing. The main idea that has foreshadowing are things being ‘armless’. Some of these items that are armless include: Owen, the dressmakers dummy, the armadillo, and Mary Magdelene. Owen became armless when he saved all those many people from a grenade. That was when he realized why he sounded and looked the way he did. ‘“NAM SOON! LIE DOWN!” Even the littlest boy understood him.’ (612) When Owen was given a…

I think it’s really interesting that you viewed Syncletica withdrawing from society as a sin. I don’t know if I would consider what she did to be a sin but it’s nice to see how other people view things. I completely understand what you’re saying and I really like how you pointed out that even if you do think she committed a sin it was all in the hopes of spreading the Christian religion and teaching other young woman about God. It’s also interesting how you said that she may have sinned to the…

Saramago by doing this book, believes that if Lucas was able to interpret and tell Jesus’ story, he believed that him too could do his own version. The story starts by telling us about young Mary, which is in Saramago’s version already married to Joseph. Then, Jesus is conceived in the most natural and carnal way. Soon enough, one of the moments that determines the future of Jesus, is the massacre of newborns by King Herod as Joseph learns…

Firstly, Alejandria is a Christian Saint, man’s defender. Her occupation might contradict the title of a saint; however Mary Magdalene is recognized as a Saint by the Catholic Church. Alejandrina could also be derived from the city of Alexandria, the heart of knowledge and learning in Egypt. In “[doing] away with my generation’s virginity” (Page 64), Maria “taught us more than…

the painful realization of the implications of her sexual identity (Higson & Mullan, 2002). She has the opportunity to escape for good, but the young man who offers her a ride makes a remark about how she must be from “in there”, referring to the Magdalene Asylum, and says that they must be taking in “loonies” now (Higson & Mullan, 2002).
