Gyuri`s mind
1) At this point, Gyuri stills thinking like an innocent child. He sees things in a very positive way.
2) 13 years old chilren focus in things they are interested in, like videogames. This is because they usually focus thing that can provide fan, so they in general see things they have fan with.
3) He mixes his feeling with language, so he focus things in a more positive way than he shouls, in a naive way.
4) It is not reliable at all, he shows everything with a lot of hope, while the theme of the book is fatelessness.

Imre Kertész interview
1) Those 2000 giant stone blocks, recreate the feeling of total vulnerability that the Jews felt in the concentration camps, because you are sorrounded by giants structures and they block you from seeing what is next to you.
2) He is now living in Germany, the place that wantes to kill him once, and he felt safer there than in his own country.
3) The antisemitism before Auschwitz wanted to eliminate the Jews. The antisemitism after it, wants another Auschwitz
4) It makes us much richer because it helps us to avoid making the mistakes humanity did in the past.
5) The metaphor he uses compares our souls locked in with the trapped feeling of remembering the Holocaust the book gives to us when we read it.

Letter analysis
http://letelierblog.blogspot.com
The language my classmate used in his letter is very strong and effective, because of the vocabulary he uses. Words as feels like hell, awful soups, undrinkable water, harassing, etc. Thanks to this, the letter is very moving and vey shocking, so I would say my classmate's style is effective.
In terms of context and time, he mentions the horrible conditions in the concentration camps, and he said the father have been there for one year so Gyuri can understand his situation in context.

Writing task
Dear father,
It have been 45 days since I am in the camp. I am writing to you to let you know how much I love you and how much I want to see you again. I am not sure if that would be possible given the circumstances. I can barely survive, the food I recieve is not suficient and I have to trade with another interns to get some extra food. I feel dirty, I am hungry, I don't know what is going to happen to me. They force us to work hard every day and they don't care about my recent wound in my knee. I can barely walk and I feel they are doing this just for punishing us, but I do not have an idea of why are they doing this. They treat us like animal, yesterday one of the german guards punch me on the face without any reason.
I met another prisoner(yes, we are prisoner) who is from Budapest, and he miss home just as much as I do. He helps me a lot dealing with this and carrying on, making me think in something different than sorviving, because that is my priority right now. But with the time I am getting tired of this and I am thinking on giving up...I feel hopeless.
What do you think father, will they kill me like they do in another camps? Will they release some day? Please answer me back and tell me you are ok.
Yours faithfully,
Gyuri.

the curious incident
The Curious Incident:
1) What does this tell us about how Christopher's mind-and our minds-works?
Normally,we just focus in general things, so our mind memorizes only a few things, but Cristopher's mind
consider almost every detail. We could say he isn't as "lazy" as we are in that aspect, in the example he even counted the amount of cows and visible houses!
2)What does most people choose to describe, and why? What do they see?
Just the most important things, otherwise, we would really have to describe a lot of things. Although we see everything, we don't memorize even the half of the details.
3)Are people "lazy", as Christopher thinks? Or is that we select in a different way?
No we are not. It is just a word to understand the type of thought, but Christopher just see thing differently as we do, in a more specific way.
4)Why should we select in a different way to Crhistopher - and reduce what we see?
It is not important to understand every detail of something, we only need a general understanding, or we would take a lot of time to get a simple idea
5)What governs the way we select what we perceive?
In general, we select what we think is vital to understand something.
6)What part does language play in the way we select our perceptions?
In language, we synthesis things, taking from all the information, the most important things.
7)What does this tell us about how Christopher's mind - and our minds - work?
As he tried to understand everything, he gets confused being enale to procces so many details. In another words, he crashes.
