husband is better than no husband.

marriages.
(L3) (Scene 2) In Tevye's prayer, who or what does he blame for his problems?

(L3) What news does Avram tell Tevye and the others? In advancing the plot, what

an example of?
The author uses foreshadowing to tell us that Tevye has a brother-in-law in America.
(L4) At first, what does Tevye think that he and Lazar are talking about? What is the
effect of this?
Tevye thinks that Lazar is trying to convince him to sell his cow, but Lazar wants to
marry Tevye's daughter. The effect shown is humor because of the miscommunication.
(L4) In Scene 4, when Tevye speaks to the audience, what is he trying to decide? Do
you think he does this too quickly?
Tevye is trying to decide whether or not he should agree with Lazar's offer to marry
Tzeitel. Yes, he does this too quickly because he does not think about his decision for
very long.
(L4) In Tevye's song on page 47, celebrating the marriage contract with Lazar, what
does Tevye say to make the reader think that he is not happy about the decision?
Tevye says "even when our hearts lie panting on the floor." This metaphor is an image
of a sad heart because Tzeitel will probably not want to marry an older man just
because he is financially stable.
(L4) If Tevye is not happy about this decision, why do you think Tevye actually agrees to
the marriage?
Tevye agrees with the marriage because he believes that Lazar will treat her well and
take care of her.
(L4) Russians are in the tavern. Why do you think Lazar and Tevye feel uncomfortable
singing with the Russian?
Lazar and Tevye are uncomfortable with the Russians joining them to sing because they
do not know if they will accept them because they are Jews.

you are a Jewish dog."

town.

(L4) Summarize what Motel says in his song after speaking to Tevye, and why does he
say this?
Motel is comparing the fact that Tevye is allowing him to marry Tzeitel to a miracle. He
did not think Tevye would change tradition for their match.
(L4) What are the Bible story allusions in the song that make the audience understand
how strong tradition and religion are to this family?
Daniel in the lion's den
the battle of Jericho
(L5) What did ancient Greek playwrights incorporate into their plays to move their

announcement.

Fruma-Sarah threatens to take Tzeitel by the throat and kill her. She shows the action
by taking Tevye by the throat.
(L5) How does Tevye's dream assist him? Do you think he actually had this dream?
Tevye's dream helps him to change Golde's mind about the marriage contract with
Lazar. It probably was not a real dream, but just a fabrication to help Tevye.
(L5) What does this show you about Tevye's relationship with his wife?
This situation shows that Tevye is afraid to discuss the fact that he broke with custom
and reason to allow Tzeitel to marry Motel, who is not wealthy.
(L5) (Scene 8) How does Fyedka try to develop a relationship with Chava?
Fyedka wants Chava to read a book so they can discuss it later.

The initial mood of the wedding is joyful because of the beautiful scene and ceremony
that occurs along with an emotional song.

Tevye and Lazar get into an argument about the contract that Tevye broke with him.
(L5) What is the second event that interrupts and ends the wedding feast?
The Russian constable and his men interrupt and end the wedding feast by tearing up
the room.
(L5) What cultural differences move the play's violent acts promoting the main idea
and theme?
The constable said he has to please his superior to show hatred for the Jews.
(L5) Why do you think that the author changes the character of the constable into a
nice person who unwillingly had to follow orders? (Remember, in the original story, the
constable was a cruel and hateful person.)
The author changed the character of the constable to be nicer to reflect that not all
Russians were mean or hateful and to better keep his audience in mind. Stein wanted
the play to be less of a political statement and more of an entertaining piece enjoyed
by all since America was founded by immigrants.
(L5) Consider Perchik's actions during the pogrom at the wedding. How would you
characterize Perchik because of this?
Perchik interferes with the Russians when he tries to save the candlesticks. He gets
knocked down. He is impulsive and fearless.
(L5) In Hamlet, where does the ghost say he comes from?
The ghost says he comes from the fires of purgatory.
(L5) Why do you think the ghost has to tell Hamlet who he is?
The ghost has to tell Hamlet who he is probably because he is either unrecognizable or
a spirit, not material, being.
(L5) What is similar about the characters concerning this scene from Hamlet and the
dream scene in Fiddler on the Roof?
Both scenes have dead family members that come to give information.
(L5) What is a difference in the presentation of the scenes?
In Fiddler on the Roof, there are many characters in Tevye's reenactment of his dream.
In Hamlet, there are only two characters, Hamlet and the Ghost. Tevye's dream is made
up; Hamlet's dream appears to be real, as far as we know.
(L5) What is similar about the effectiveness of the ghosts' messages in both selections
in moving the actions of the plot?
The ghosts' messages are both effective in that they make the other characters change
their minds, which changes the direction of the plot.

bishop
(L6) Similar in both stories, it can be deduced that the candlesticks are passed from
parents to their _________.
children
(L6) When Valjean dies, the _______ of the candles illuminate him, conveying their
spiritual symbolic meaning.
light
(L6) In Act I, Scene 10, of Fiddler on the Roof, the stage directions say that Perchik
fights with a Russian who has thrown the wedding gift candlesticks to the ground.
Then, the Russian hits him with a club, and he falls to the ground. Then, the text says,
"Tzeitel picks up the candlesticks, one of which is broken. They (the wedding guests)
freeze at the sudden sounds of destruction in a nearby house, then, continue
straightening up as the curtain falls."
Compare the symbolic messages of the candlestick symbol in Les Misérables as
described in this Lesson to the way it is used in Fiddler on the Roof.
In Fiddler on the Roof, one of the candlesticks is broken even as Perchik tries to protect
them. This symbolizes that religious traditions are broken. In Les Misérables, the
candlesticks are protected throughout Valjean's life, and they help him to make his last
spiritual journey as they "illuminated" him.
(L6) (Prologue) What does Tevye pray for Motel to have?
He prays for a sewing machine.
(L6) What is Perchik's reason for having to leave?
Perchik says people are expecting him in Kiev to help him make great changes in the
country.
(L6) What does Perchik ask Hodel, and what makes this conversation amusing?
Perchik asks Hodel to marry him. The conversation is amusing because he calls the
proposal "a political question" and uses words related to the government instead of
speaking of love.
(L6) (Act II, Scene 1) How does Tevye rationalize the idea of allowing his daughters to
choose their husbands?
Tevye uses the Bible story of Adam and Eve to justify allowing his daughters to marry
whom they love. He says that God arranged their marriages similar to Adam and Eve's
situation.
(L6) What does Tevye mean when he says, "It's a new world, a new world. Love."?
Tevye is saying that the effect of "love" is replacing their tradition of arranging
marriages, and this is making a "new world."
(L6) At the end of Scene 1, what is ironic about Golde and Tevye's conversation about
love? What does their conclusion mean to Tevye's previous reference about love?
Golde and Tevye admit that they love each other even though their marriage was
arranged. However, Tevye says that if they did not love each other, it would not change
their relationship. This is ironic to what Tevye just previously said because "love" or lack
of it does not make a "new world" for them.
(L6) What is humorous about Scene 2? What is it showing pertaining to gossip?
Scene 2 is funny because it shows how gossip being spread from one person to the
next changes the truth of the initial event.
(L6) Why does the author create a funny scene with tragic news? What would be the
effect on the audience?
The author sets a funny scene with tragic news to lighten the seriousness of it. The
audience laughs before the horrible news can set in.
(L6) How does this lighthearted point of view influence the plot?
This lighthearted point of view influences the plot because the story will not end in a
horrible tragedy but will leave the audience with hope.
(L6) (Act II, Scene 3) What is the conflict and theme expressed about parents and their
children that is common to the human condition? How does Tevye handle this conflict?
The theme expressed about parents and children is that parents have to let their grown
children lead their own lives. Tevye is brave about his daughter leaving to Siberia, and
prays, "Take care of her."
(L6) Why do you think the author does not have the mother in this scene with Hodel
and Tevye?
The author probably did not put Golde, the mother, in the scene because she would
have been too emotional.
(L6) What theme do Hodel's actions represent, and what are her conflicts about her
decisions?
Hodel's actions represent the theme that love conquers all, even fear. Her conflict is
about deciding to enter a strange and dangerous environment to be closer to her
future husband.

(L7) At the end of Scene 5, Tevye gets angry when his wife argues with him about going
to see the sewing machine. What do you think he is actually angry about?
Tevye implies that Golde is controlling his decisions, and he gets angry with her. He
wants to go see the sewing machine, but his hidden anger is about Fyedka and Chava.
(L7) (Act II, Scene 7) What is amusing about the scene where the hired matchmaker,
Yente, brings two boys for Golde's daughters? What does it say about Yente?
Because Yente brings two young boys to arrange marriages for Golde's daughters, this
shows that she is desperate. It is funny because the daughters are not ready for
marriage, and it would be difficult to make matches of children.
(L7) In the song "Anatevka," what is a reason that the characters use to say it is not a
big deal to have to leave their home?
The characters say that Anatevka is a poor town, and they will not be leaving much
behind.
(L7) In the song "Anatevka," what is a reason that the characters say they do not want
to leave their home?
Characters say that they do not want to leave Anatevka because they will leave all the
people and places they know.
(L7) (Act II, Scene 8) How does Tevye react to Chava in the end? What is the
significance of what he says?
Tevye actually does acknowledge Chava and her marriage. It is significant because he
has changed his tradition.
(L7) Explain the tone and mood at the end of the play and use evidence from the text,
the diction, to explain how this is achieved. Relate this tone and mood to the author's
purpose and message of the play.
The tone and mood of the play is a sweet sadness. Although part of the family is
separating, all the grown daughters have their place and are not alone. The younger
daughters go with Tevye and Golde to America, a place of hope and safety. The idea of
the revolving stage symbolizes how life changes and people separate and move into
their own destinies. This relates to the author's purpose and message of the play that
change is inevitable, and people are powerless against it. Tevye still beckons to
tradition to come with him.

This science lab procedure is for growing bacteria. The agar has to be heated and dissolved.

Procedure B is more memorable because it is easier to read and follow the directions. The
heading or title is a clearly stated purpose. For graphics, the picture, the numbering, and the
bolded questions assist making the instructions clearer than in Procedure A. There is also not

kind of bacteria it is, and how safe it is. Also, should they actually open the Petri dish when

narrator's description of people with certain talents in the beginning of the story?
Dupin is one of those characters that is generally described in the first part of the story.
He has an uncanny and unnatural ability that most people do not have to figure things
out.

Who is Chantilly? What does Dupin say about him to the narrator?
Chantilly is a cobbler who acted in a play, but was made fun of. Dupin says he is "a very
little fellow."
Why is the narrator so surprised by Dupin?
Dupin appears to read the narrator's mind or thoughts.
What does Dupin do to explain his conclusion?
Dupin gives the narrator a sequence of events to figure out what he is thinking about.
Infer what Dupin possibly means concerning observation in sentence 30. Use clues from
the previous passages about his lifestyle.
Dupin says that observation has become a "necessity," meaning he uses his mind to keep
from being bored.
What do you think about the analytical process that Dupin explains? Do you think it is
possible for a person to come to reliable conclusions in the manner that Dupin does?
Why or why not?
The process that Dupin explains for coming up with the narrator's thoughts is not
realistic. I believe it is possible to sometimes know what a person is thinking if you
know him well, but the kind of evidence that Dupin gives is rather unreliable.

The Power of Sympathy
The narrator and Dupin slept during the day and
discoursed throughout the night. The narrator was fascinated by his
inordinately skilled friend, Dupin, who could figure out all kinds of puzzling enigmas
and even knew what he was thinking about. He believed Dupin to be very serious about
his gift and did not use it in
charlatanerie, or was deceptive about it. As these two men strolled the streets of Paris,
nightly, they did not know what adventures they would recontre. They talked about
trivial matters like actors in plays who were comical and diminutive or short in stature.

Why did the police enter the house and how did they enter?
The neighbors heard horrible screams and the police had to break in the house with a
crowbar.
What are Napoleons according to the context?
Napoleons are French coins.
What is unusual about the money lying about?
Usually, a murderer robs a person.
Define excoriations. Write the number of the sentence(s) that define it.

the women.
Deceased
Mutilated
Where was the younger woman's body found?

mon Dieu
...
Why might someone say those three French words?
sacré, diable, mon Dieu
Someone might say these words if shocked or frightened.
What is similar about all of the witness accounts?
They hear high and low screams and unintelligible voices. They also hear some of the
French exclamations.
How does a witness calling the old woman "childish" in sentence 47 affect the reader's
attitude of her?
Calling the old woman childish makes the reader wonder what she did to cause this
calamity upon herself.
Describe a recent transaction that the old woman did before she died. What might this
signify?
The old woman took out 4,000 francs in coins from her bank account. This might
explain why she was murdered.
Why might the author put this rumor about the old woman being a fortune teller in the
story if there is not proof of it?
That the old woman might have been a fortune teller is making people suspicious of her
character and that she might have done something bad to cause the murders.
What are other descriptions of the way the old woman and her daughter lived? What
does this make you think about them?
The women lived on one floor of a huge empty building. This seems strange and
unproductive. They did not have visitors, which makes them seem eccentric and
possibly stingy.
What is similar about the women's lives compared to the narrator and Dupin's lives?
What might the author be hinting at because of this?
The women's lives are similar to the narrator and Dupin's lives in that they were a pair
that kept to themselves and did not have visitors. They also both lived in large homes.
This may be hinting that something horrible may happen to the narrator and Dupin, as
well.
What might be the author's purpose and effect of this text construction—the relaying
ofdifferent witness accounts?
The author gives the different witness accounts so that the reader can try to figure out
the mystery of the murders along with the characters in the story.
How are the witness accounts written differently from the style of the narrator's
commentaries?
The witness accounts are written in short sentence fragments. The narrator's
commentaries are very long and complex sentences with a higher level of vocabulary.
This shows the higher education of the narrator.
Lesson 5
Lesson 5
What is the meaning of the word agitation in sentence 21 according to context? Why
would the undertaker be apprehensive of agitation?

the evidence or be afraid of encountering the murderer.
What is the meaning of the word expostulating in sentence 31 according to the context,
and what is the person expostulating about?
Expostulating means expressing a claim. He was expostulating about what he thought
the gruff voices were saying.
What can you infer about the neighborhood since there were so many witness
testimonies involved? How is this strange when considering who the murderer may be?
Since there were many witnesses, the neighborhood must be crowded, and the walls to
their houses thin. They must also keep their windows open. It is strange that no one saw
anything after hearing the noises.
Define corroborates in sentence 35 according to the context.
Corroborates means supports.
The author does not give a reason why the police arrested Adolphe Le Bon, the clerk.
What might be that reason?
The clerk, Le Bon, was the last person to see the women alive, so the police thought he
killed the women to steal the money he had carried for them.
Define profound (adjective) in sentence 78. Also, choose another form of the word and
its part of speech that is used in a sentence that follows sentence 78.
Profound means deep; intense. Profundity in sentence 85 is a noun.
How does Dupin's use of the personification of truth explain a problem with the police's
way of looking for the murderer (sentences 78-81)?
Dupin calls truth a "she." He says that she can be better found on the surface or tops
(mountains) and not in the depths, (wells or valleys). He says that the police are looking
too deep.
Explain the use of Dupin's analogy in sentences 79-85 when he describes the reason
why the police cannot find out the truth.
Dupin says that the police are looking too closely at the evidence and not at the
complete picture or "the surface." He uses the analogy of staring at stars or planets. If a
person stares at them, they will not be visible.
How does the use of this analogy affect the characterization of Dupin?
A person could figure that Dupin has stared at stars before, and he is very perceptive
about actions, reactions, and the appearance of things and perceptions.
Define outré in sentence 111.
Outré means strange, freakish, or weird.
What does Dupin mean about this statement in sentence 111?
Dupin is saying that since the murders are so bizarre, they are easy to figure out. He is
hinting that he knows the answer.
Give an example that you are familiar with that relates to Dupin's analogy of how a
person can look too closely at something and miss the bigger picture.
when people only look at the bad characteristics of a person and not the good
when a person is trying to figure out a math problem and thinks the question is more
difficult than it actually is

There are special people with amazing talents.
Lesson 6

Define implicated in sentence 1.
Implicated means involved in or a party to.
Define denizens in sentence 32.
Denizens are foreigners.
Considering the events in the first two paragraphs of this excerpt of the story, what
would you call this part of the plot?
rising action
When Dupin pulls the guns out, what does this suggest to the reader?
Dupin is preparing for the perpetrator to return, and he or she may be dangerous.
In sentences 32-37, what is the conclusion that Dupin makes about the speech of
someone in the house when the women were murdered?
Dupin says the sounds are not recognizable words of any language, and he says he has a
suspicion about what the sounds are and who made them.
Define egress in sentences 45 and 50.
Egress means to exit or escape.
Considering Dupin's discussion of all the evidence and the idea that he is waiting for
someone to come to his door that was involved in the murders, why do you think the
author does not have Dupin tell the narrator who he thinks the murderer is at this point?
The author has Dupin tell about every piece of evidence and how he comes to his
conclusions, so he just doesn't want to stop the suspense by uncovering the mystery so
soon. Dupin wants the narrator to figure out the clues as the author wants the audience
to do, as well.
In sentences 60-64, how does Dupin use process of elimination to cause him to
investigate the windows further?
The perpetrator did not come in or leave through the front door because the front gate
and doors were locked from the inside. Also, the perpetrator did not leave from the front
windows because no one saw him leave. One of the back windows was "securely
fastened from within," and the other one looked locked, but was not. This had to be the
entry and exit.
Define sash in sentence 71.
Sash means a frame holding a window.
Define supererogation in sentence 73.
Supererogation means difficulty or more effort than required.
Define a posteriori in sentence 76.

Define inductions in sentence 96.
Induction means reasoning that does not follow the first premise.
Explain what kind of figurative language is used in sentence 98, what it means, and how
it relates to the theme of the story.
The metaphor is that the detective is like a dog on a scent. A dog has an exceptional
sense of smell and doesn't get off track just like Dupin does not get off track in his
reasoning about the case. This relates to the theme of a person having such exceptional
analytical skills that he does not make any mistakes.
Define nullity in sentence 101.
Nullity means something that is null or void; nonexistent.
Define fissure in 108.
Fissure means a split or crack.
Define mode of descent in 115, and why is this important in the story?
The mode of descent means the way to get down. It is important to know if the
murderer escaped or is still in the house, or if the women killed themselves. The way the
murderer escaped also tells about his or her physical ability.
Define casement in sentence 117.
Casement means a part of a window set on a hinge so that it swings open.

Dupin is trying to get the narrator to figure out who the murderer is by summarizing the
evidence.

who the perpetrators are.
Dupin is explaining why the banker should not be convicted for the crime. Why is this
so?
Since the banker did not take the money, he does not have a motive for the crime and
should not be convicted.
What is Dupin doing and asking of the narrator in lines 61-63? How does this affect the
reader?
Dupin is summarizing the evidence and trying to get the narrator to figure out who the
murder is. It affects the reader to figure it out, too.
What is the narrator's answer in sentence 65? Is he correct according to Dupin?
The narrator assumes that a madman escaped from a mental institute must have
committed the murder. No, he is not correct according to Dupin because of the hair and
the nonintelligible language.
What is unusual about the hair that was found in the young woman's hands? To whom
does it belong?
The hair is nonhuman and belongs to an orangutan.
What drawing of what evidence does Dupin show to the narrator?
Dupin shows a drawing of the handprint that was around the throat of Mademoiselle
L'Espanaye.
What experiment does Dupin do with this drawing to prove a point, and what is the
conclusion?

French sailor.

What is particularly hard to follow in this story and why? What different type of
mediumwould best illustrate this story?

the written evidence would be lacking.
Lesson 8
Lesson 8
How does Dupin figure out that a French sailor owns the orangutan?
Dupin found a small piece of greasy ribbon that sailors use to tie their hair. It has a
Maltese sailor's knot tied into it. It was found where the perpetrator and the sailor would
have come in and left the house.
What are two reasons that Dupin says that the sailor will answer the ad?
The orangutan is worth a lot of money to the poor sailor.
The person with the orangutan does not know what it did or thinks that the sailor knows
anything about it.
Define cudgel in sentence 36.
Cudgel means a club or weapon.
How does Dupin get the sailor to relax and confess that the orangutan is his?
Dupin gets the sailor to relax by telling him how fine and valuable the animal is. Dupin
acts as if he doesn't know what happened, and the sailor admits the animal is his.
What is the main reason that Dupin asks the sailor to tell the truth about the murders?
Dupin tells the sailor that an innocent person is in prison for the murders and that he
needs to tell the truth.
How did the sailor lose the orangutan?
The sailor lost the orangutan because it broke out of his closet.
What does the orangutan want to do with the razor and why?
The orangutan wants to shave and cut hair with the knife because he has seen the sailor
use it.
What causes the orangutan to become violent?
The screams of the woman agitates the animal into violence, and then the blood makes
him go even crazier.
Why does the orangutan push the young lady up the chimney and throw the old lady out
of the window?
Since the sailor has whipped him for misbehaving, the orangutan wants to hide his
crimes.
Why do you think the author chose to have the narrator tell the story of the sailor, rather
than the sailor himself?
The author probably chose to have the narrator tell the story of the sailor because it
keeps him from having to sound like the sailor who is probably uneducated and has an
accent and dialect.
Do you think this story ends with a good resolution?
The story does end with a good resolution; however, it is puzzling that the sailor is
completely innocent. In today's world, the sailor would have been responsible and
punished in some way. We have laws for this.
How does this type of resolution fit into the characteristics of Romanticism's style of
literature?
he resolution is positive in that the mystery is solved. Dupin is the amazing hero, and
this is idealistic. Also, the inferences to the supernatural, some "dark" imagery, and the
eccentric characters' lives make it classified as Romantic.
What would you like to have seen added to the end of the story?
I would have liked to see how the sailor captures the orangutan.
Based on this story, what is important when an author writes a detective story like this?
It is important to keep all the details and evidence straight. It is also important to make
the solution difficult to figure out so the reader will keep being interested throughout the
story.
What are three new types of evidence used in determining who committed crimes that
were not available at the time of Poe's story?
electronic devices such as phones, cameras, etc.
bacteria
DNA evidence

In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," there are two 11) retired
characters who sleep during the day and roam the streets at night. They read about a(n)
12) outré, or strange, incident of two women being horribly 13) mutilated and
murdered. In this short story, the readers follow along with several 14) witness accounts
of testimony and follow these clues to try to figure out who the murderer is. Sometimes,
the evidence is different, but many times, each witness 15) corroborates, or supports,
each other's testimonies. The detective character in the story uses the method of the 16)
process of elimination to figure out that the perpetrator must have entered or gained 17)
ingress through the window. It was also difficult to figure out the 18) mode of descent,
or how the perpetrator climbed down the fourth floor window. It took a great deal of
physical 19) agility to do this feat. So, with all this and other evidence such as the
animal hair, the handprint, and the lack of 20)
motive, or rational reason for the murder, the investigator concluded that a(n) 21)
orangutan had to do it. The 22) theme
of this story is that some people have an amazing ability to figure things out.
