Larry is actually really sad. He is stern and serious, a little cowardly, and a decent man, but bad luck always finds him.
The wife is on good terms with Say, wants to divorce him, and kicks him out of the house.
After Say's death, Larry had to pay for his funeral.
Son Danny didn't study Hebrew well in class. He only bought a record to memorize it, and even smoked marijuana before receiving the salute, and ended up reciting the teachings in a dizzy state.
The neighbor Brandt occupied Larry's land. He and his theory, obviously he is the one who occupies the right, but he can't face it with a tough attitude under the arrogance and unreasonableness of the other party.
And the dreams that Larry had were actually very interesting and interesting.
One of them was Larry who drove Arthur to the lake and gave him some money to say goodbye. In this little poignant soundtrack, Arthur rowed a boat, turned his head to say goodbye, and then turned and was shot dead. When Larry turned around, he found Brandt and his son Mickey lying in ambush. Brandt went on to tell his son that there was another Jew there and that he had his son shoot him.
About this dream, I can't help but babble on here.
1. Larry thinks that he has done nothing wrong, and his brother Arthur should bear part of the responsibility for the current tragic situation, and therefore, he will send Arthur away in a dream. And Arthur's killing may be the amplification of his own dissatisfaction with Arthur.
2. As for the bribe, he didn't want to accept it in his heart, but after trying to turn it over to no avail and being threatened by the student's parents to sue him for slander, he felt very troublesome and didn't know what to do at all. So, in the dream, he gave Arthur the money together with the envelope to get rid of this burden.
3. Say that neighbor again. Obviously, Mickey should have fired the shot that killed Arthur. There are two problems here
One, why shoot Larry and Arthur? It is clear that such deep hostility does not correspond to reality. In real life, Brandt didn't show any hostility towards Larry at all, he was just a little rude. This hostility was clearly projected from Larry's own dissatisfaction with the opponent. Larry can be said to be an honest man. His dissatisfaction and resentment were not expressed. After being suppressed, it appeared in another form in the dream. So Larry's shooting was an outlet for his own dissatisfaction. In life, Larry couldn't take it easy. In the dream, such venting is still modified. Originally, the primary target of the two was naturally Larry, but Arthur was killed first, and when the gun turned to Larry, he subconsciously pulled out the entire group of Jews as a banner Standing in the front, thinking that the object of hostility between the father and son is the Jew, not a specific him. Hehe, so, this is really a very secretive way of venting.
Second, Mickey is still very young, why didn't Brant shoot, but his son Mickey? This can be found in the previous conversation between Brandt and Larry. Brant came back from hunting with Mickey. Larry asked the other party whether Mickey didn't have to go to school today when he was discussing with the other party whether the border of the hut had crossed the line. Larry's expression became a little unnatural after hearing Brandt's reply that he had specially picked up his son from school to go hunting. Brandt is a bit domineering and arrogant, and what he asks his son to do is always an imperative tone. Larry undoubtedly does not agree with this kind of behavior, this kind of education method. At the same time, he still has concerns about Mickey, but he didn't say any of these. And so in his dream, the consequences appeared. Mickey obeyed his father's orders, and became as brutal as his father, shooting and killing people.
Other dreams, such as shouting to the students at the end of get out of class, saying that even if you don't understand the things I teach, you will still pass the midterm exam, and then you will pay the price for it. There was also a brief affair with neighbor Mrs Samsky. A large part of what Larry said and did in the dream was what he thought about in his daily life, but did not say or do it.
Life is unpredictable. As Larry taught in class, we can never really know what's going to happen next.
Larry has proven this for himself.
He has survived all these hardships, but soon after hearing the news that he was about to be promoted, he immediately received a call. Judging from the doctor's tone of voice on the phone and the request for an interview, his condition should be quite serious. . But how serious? do not know. Will Larry die? do not know. Will life be so bad in the future? do not know.
At the end, after getting the confiscated radio, Danny calls out Figor's name as he prepares to give it back to Figor, who has been asking for it. But the other party was indifferent, he turned around, glanced at Danny indifferently, and turned back indifferently. Ahead of him, a tornado was coming all the way.
So, I know that when this moment comes, those that I have been pursuing for a long time and that have troubled me for a long time are no longer important.
And before that, I don't know, but it's important.
