The next day at school, Mr. John McPherson shows up low the influence of alcohol, completely drunk and starts to insult the Jews and making extremely antiblack comments. This is Just a sm on the satisfying example of Anti-Semitism during Duddys childhood. another(prenominal) estimate I found important in the text was selfishness as soundly as hallucination and greed. Even though Duddy was making more than specie than a 17 year old should, he always wanted more.Nothing was more important to him than making property.

After Virgil and Yvette found out nigh what Duddy had done to them, they never spoke to him again. Discuss the authors style.Describe 2 iterary elements the author uses successfully and give a clear example of each. The author used a few techniques to deepen our understanding of the story. One of the techniques was using a teenager as the main guinea pig of the novel. I think this showed us the ambition of the young man because all teenagers want to make money and dream about becoming rich one day, but its not all 17 year olds that want it as bad as Duddy Kravitz. Another technique used by the author was making the main character a Jew.As we all know, Jews have a reputation for wanting money so ad and I think that the fact that Duddy is Jewish makes the whole story about a young man chasing money more meaningful. Did you enjoy the book? Why or why not? I enjoyed this novel a lot and recommend it to everyone living in Montreal and who likes a story that may have many things in common with their have got personal lives. I think it is an important p art of Montreal history in our generation. I also think its good for Jewish people to memorise this novel because we also see how racism has stronger racism against Jews was in the mid-forties
