If I would have been Elya, despite it being to late and writing
such an unlogical letter to my descendants, I would have thought again and
again before I board on the ship. I don't beleive that such a disappointment
caused from a broken love can justify his boarding on that ship! At least, their
children doesn't deserve taking part in that punishment. If I could have
changed it, I would have cursed only the
no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.
Maybe I also would
like to ask questions to Elya regarding that issue, to be able to understand
his thoughts about that:
Why did you
board on that ship without thinking the curse being real?
Do you think
now it was worth destroying your life in your fatherland because of Myra?
Do you think
Madame Zeroni was right to curse you because you didn't keep your promise?
If you could
select being cursed in the USA with your wife or being alone in Latvia, what
would you choose?
Do you think
your son and his descendants will be really affected from the curse? If yes,
will there be a way to remove this curse?
And maybe also to
the author, to Louis Sachar I would like to ask some questions like the
following ones:
Do you think it's
logical or moral that Elya's all descendants will be affected by the curse?
Was Madame
Zeroni a grim woman or she became just so sad that she cursed Elya? Or was it
only because of the promise?
Is it really so
logical that Myra couldn't decide on whom to marry?
Can a person in
the same situations with Elya in real life really think directly leaving the
country without waiting some more days to keep its promise?
If you could
have changed something in that part of the story, would you have changed
something?
