Chapter 4

Mala says that Vladek is more attached to things than people. Why might Mala say this? Do you believe this is true?

  1. I think mala is right because vladek is really attached to things because he has so many things that he probrably will never use and lots of the things are already broken but, he has good memories with there things so he doesnt want to give them up.I think mala said this because he doesnt treat her well and she doesnt feel attatched to him.

  2. I think it it true. Earlier in his life he was a savvy buisnessman and he always had money. When he was taken away by the Nazis, he was probably scarred by how evil people can be, he prefers material possessions over them.

  3. I think it is true. I think his earlier life was really hard, so he likes to keep things of the past because of all the memories in them (not good memories, but just all the struggles). I agree with Myliese saying that Mala said this because she doesn't really feel like he treats her right and she doesn't feel appreciated.

  4. I think it is true because he does care about things more than people. He threw out Artie's coat, made sure Mala put his coat on a wooden hanger, and is very strict about money and food.

  5. I also agree. I think Mala is saying this because he is distant from people most of the time, especially her. I agree with Jack that he probably values possesions because he had everything taken away.

  6. I think that Mala said that statement because he likes to keep alot of junk and be more into it then into people. Also that he might care about it more or like keeping all that stuff more. I do think this statement is true because some stuff that they were looking through was old and useless to even keep.
    Also wow Mala finally just cracked, she's got a mad side in her waiting to come out. Exspecially being with a old stubborn guy like Vladek.

  7. I also think it is true, Mala might think this because he doesn't pay much attention to Mala or anything. Mala makes him dinner and he doesn't even care. He even threw out arts coat, he doesn't care what people think he wants to do his own thing.

  8. I think it is true because she said earlier she does not know how long she can take him because he has so many things he will never use agin in his life. I think Mala might have said that because she can not stand him holding on to little things that are not worth keeping.

  10. She says that because vladek is always really mean to her and he cares more about all the possesions he has then he does about her. I believe this is partially true becasue im sur ehe loved people more then possessions before his wife died

  11. Mala says that because he keeps some many thing like a pitcher from a hospital room for example. I think he is more attached to his possesion than people. During the war he lost very important things that made life easy. Valdek probaly wants many things because of what happened.

  12. I think Vladek is so attached to these items because he had everything taken away from him from his job to his house to his family and he wants to keep everything he has left. This is true and Mala is right.

  13. She says this because Vladek doesn't really get along with Mala. I beleive this because he gets very cranky about his possesions.

  14. I think Mala says that because He can relate to things more than people. With people you have to deal with emotions adn with things you dont have to deal with anything. I think this is true because if your someone who doesnt want to deal with drama or emotions like Vladek than you just dont talk to then really.

  15. I think this is true because He went to the war and he left home so all of things were there. Many of things that he left at home were really important to him. He is probably closer to his things then he is people.

  16. Mala says this because Vladek keeps all this useless junk in the house. I mean, just throw the stuff away all ready. I do believe that what Mala said was true. I also think Vladek should treat Mala with a lot of more respect. He's so rude to her all the time. If I was Mala, I would've left him.

  18. I think that Mala said that because Vladek keeps a lot of "souvenirs", or "junk" as Mala calls it, from his life. I think that he keeps everything he can because he wants to take everything he can get before its taken away because everything he really ever had in his life was taken away. I do believe this is kind of true because he probably thinks that people come and go but you can have those things forever and he has really never had this many things to call his.

  19. Mala is saying this about Vladek because he cares to much about material possessions and money. For example when he told Mala to put Artie's coat on a wood hanger or when Artie shows his dad his new tape recorder and Vladek gets mad because it cost so much. Vladek had so much useless junk and should throw some of it out. When Mala said she doesn't know if she take it anymore. I think Mala should leave Vladek. He is so rude ans she deserves respect. If I were her I would.

  20. I think that Vladek keeps too much junk and old souvenirs that Mala gets mad over. He complains about how expensive the tape recorder was and how old fashioned Artie's jacket looked. I think that he doesn't like some things because it might bring back bad memories from the past. I think it is true that Vladek is more attached to things than to people Ex. Mala.

  21. I think that Mala is right because Vladek keeps a lot of souvineers and he pays aloty of attention to them instead of other people.
