Alas, Babylon Part 2 Test Chapters 8-13 Conflict types (man vs. man, vs. self, vs. nature) Literary Devices (simile, theme, imagery, allusion)

Chapter 8 – Key Events 4 month time jump! Randy misses several “luxury” items: coffee and razors! However, it is what he does not miss that is most important: whiskey. Randy is changing as a character since he no longer feels the need to drink. His priorities are changing. Randy goes to Marines Park to trade his scotch. He hopes for coffee, but there is none. Jim Hickey gives Randy honey for the children without expecting anything in return. Theme: Human nature is essentially good! Radiation concerns in town: Pete Hernandez, Porky Logan, and Bill Cullen Randy writes “poison” outside of Porky Logan’s home because people don’t understand that radiation is a real threat!

Chapter 8 - Characterization Pete and Rita Hernandez -Radiation poisoning = contaminated jewelry from Porky Logan -Traded for the jewelry/valuables in order to be “prepared” when the world goes back to “normal.” They think the economy might rebound. How are they making their decisions? Based on GREED!

Chapter 9 – Key Events Porky Logan dies from radiation poisoning. Peyton’s “If I grow up…” comment Randy and Lib are upset to hear that Peyton has concerns on if she will have a future or not. Randy uses his gun to “convince” men to be pallbearers. His use of force demonstrates his leadership. Martial law = Randy is the new leader

Chapter 9 - Characterization Benjamin Franklin Ben and Caleb stay up all night to protect the Henry’s chicken coop. Something is stealing/eating the animals. Ben shoots a wild dog (described as vicious and wild like a wolf), and he cries at thinking he might have shot someone’s pet. Ben has to grow up! (loss of his innocence / childhood)

Chapter 10 – Key Events Dan gets attacked by the highwaymen. He is tricked into pulling over the car when he sees an injured woman on the side of the road. He realizes it’s a trick when she smiles at him. They borrow a grocery truck from Rita Hernandez to lure the highwaymen out of hiding.

Chapter 10 - Characterization Randy Bragg -Wants to get revenge for Dan! -Plans to kill the highwaymen.

Chapter 11 – Key Events Randy and Lib get married! (same day as Easter and revenge plan) Last minute change to the revenge plan: Malachi will drive because he looks more vulnerable to an attack due to his race and work clothes. Drilled holes in the side of the grocery truck = ambush the highwaymen Malachi gets shot during the attack. (dies later) Randy and the men hang the one surviving highwayman in order to warn others from trying to attack Fort Repose.

Chapter 11 - Characterization Randy Bragg -Strong leader for community -Democratic leader because he LISTENS to those around him when he makes decisions Example: Randy listens to his friends and allows Malachi to drive the grocery truck despite the original plan.

Chapter 12 – Key Events Hypnosis = anesthesia Dan hypnotizes Ben Franklin when his appendix must be taken out. August is the month of disaster, and the group runs out of salt and fish. Diary from Bragg ancestor = fixes salt issue (Blue Crab Run) Peyton = catches fish using goldfish and advice from old Preacher Henry First post-Day baby = sign of HOPE Peyton becomes a hero when she discovers a secret room upstairs in the attic with useful supplies: music (phonograph), razors, lamps, a kitchen pot, and copper pipes.

Chapter 13 – Key Events Dan loves Helen = she is still hoping that Mark might be alive The U.S. government drops paper leaflets from a helicopter over Fort Repose. The leaflets inform the citizens that government officials will be surveying the area to look for contamination. Townspeople start to use the leaflets as money, which is a sign that a stable economy is returning to Fort Repose. The new capital of the United States is Denver, Colorado.

Chapter 13 – Key Events Paul Hart shows up in Fort Repose on the helicopter, and he offers to help Randy. Randy requests that he bring back medical supplies and a new pair of glasses for Dan. Even though the United States won the war against Russia, the damage has already been done. Many cities across the U.S. are dealing with death and destruction.

Conflict Types Man versus Man: when a character has a problem with another character “The man with the bat put his hand on the door handle. At the instant he turned it, Malachi uncoiled, hurling himself through the door and at him, pistol clubbed” Man versus Nature: when a character has a problem with a force of nature such as cold, storms, animals, etc. “‘It wasn’t a dog any longer. In times like these, dogs can turn into wolves.’” Man versus Self: when a character must make a decision about a problem or a struggle he is having with himself “Randy wondered whether he was being selfish, trading for coffee.”

Literary Devices Simile – a comparison of two unlike things using the words LIKE or AS “It was packed full, watch bands twisting and curling like gold snakes.” Theme – the central message or life lesson the author is trying to convey “The defective bee, unable to cope with its environment, is rejected by nature before birth. I think this will be true of man.” Imagery – descriptive words/phrases that appeal to the five senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) “Sam Hazzard was not as tall as Lib and his weathered skin was drawn tautly over fine bones.” Allusion – a reference to a famous person, place, event in history , or literary work “Her father came in, a thin and wan Caesar in his sandals and white robe.”
