The Moon :: essays research papers

The Moon is Down Chapter One Here we learnthat a small townspeople has been interpreted over by ace of the manyNazi groups during World War Two. Mr. Corell The towngood guy, the way I view it, sent the town postmen andpolicemen on a boating trip, keeping them from the invasion(we learn later that The town good guy is really aback-stabber later in the book). later on the invasion, theNazis request a meeting with the towns city manager, MayorOrden. Joseph and Doctor Winter, two of Mayor Ordenscolleagues, await the arrival of Nazis too. The two meet senior pilot Bentick, a rank lower than Colonel Lanser who isthe one who had requested the meeting. Bentick searchesthe home. During the meeting Annie, Mayor Ordens cook,becomes very aggravated by the soldiers who wait outsidethe front porch of the Mayors home, and throws a pot ofboiling water at them. Chapter Two In this chapter,Steinbeck explains the characteristics of each of the Nazis.Major Hunter, an engineer, arithmatician, and see minglyindifferent to the fact that he is a soldier. Captain Bentick, afamily man, was old and kind. Bentick also has certainadmiration to the English. Captain Loft, a young man, tookmuch pride in the fact that he was a soldier. He dreams ofhis own death on the battlefield, where he is respected.Lieutenants Prackle and Tonder were snot noses,undergraduates, lieutenants, trained in the politics of the day(Quoted out of the book there seemed to be no senseputting it in my own words since it was right there, andcouldnt have been worded any better). Colonel Lansertakes much pride in what he does. To me, he sees biography as anorder given by a higher rank that must be taken out. It is alsoin this chapter that Captain Bentick dies by one AlexanderMorden, a town dweller. Chapter Three The chapter beginswith a discussion between Annie and Joseph, who aretalking about Alexander Morden and the death of CaptainBentick. Joseph reveals to Annie what he for certain thinks willhappen... Theyll sh oot him. Annie is rejecting the horriblethought. Unfortunately it is true and Alex will be tried. MollyMorden, Alexs wife, met with the Mayor because of arumor that had been circulating in the town. You wouldntconvict Alex would you?, the replies, No. To theMayors anger he found that he did have to sentence Alex todeath luckily he managed to shirk the awful duty. ChapterFour This Chapter is very brief, it simply goes into Alexstrial, where he IS convicted, and shot in a public area.
