« 8) For the narrator "home" is where she and her brother Carl had grown up the Crumbling flat in Stoke Newington.She still remembered the blue door, the silver number…and when she "put (her) discarded teeth underpillow…"(ligne 28) Maybe they can't remember Jamaica because if they were born there left being veryyoung.

Whereas for her parents "home" is Jamaica maybe because they have lived many times there, or becausethey love it better than the flat.

We can suppose that it is the place where their xhildren were born.9) At first, the family lived in Jamaica, where they had spent many years.

Then, they moved to "the old council flat"where the children had grown up.

It was a little place, poor and modest "with the drains pipe in thebathroom…"At the narration's time, the family live in a "proper street…" We can deduce from this, thatthe family first lived in poor and small places and finally got a house in a "proper street", and now, they want to goback home: to Jamaica. Exercice 2: Expression. .My reaction was immediate, I started laugh ting.

Dad looked at mum again, Mum looked at Carl, but nobody laughed."You\'re joking?" I asked hesitantly.Mum was waiting for dad\'s reaction which was a long time to come.

At last, Dad said:"No Faith! We\'re not joking."I asked: "Why do you want to do that?" I was frozen not knowing what to say, or what to do.I finally sat down on the ground, put my hands on my face, and asked once again:"Why?""Well...I thought it was...it was a good idea to return back home" faltered dad."Come on!" I said suddenly.

"You can\'t do that, my friends are here, your jobs are here...our lives are here.""Faith" said dad putting his hand on my shoulders, "remember what I always told you, the most important is notwhat you\'ve got, but who you are.""Your dad is right Faith! We only want to come back home, to return from where we are.

To live!" my mum said.I couldn't believed what I was hearing:"Are you sure about what you\'re going to do?" I asked."What\'s the matter Faith?" Asked dad."What's the matter dad? You\'ve got your business, mum got a job, we\'ve got a house in a proper street, with allthe best in this life and you want to return there?" I said."Faith, I admit it is not the only reason, but please believe us! We don\'t need all this luxury, we don\'t need thisproper house in this proper street, the fact is that this life is too short to spend it working; we have to live it andthe way we want.

For us, it is returning back home" Mum said.I thought it was a nightmare; all they were telling me was nonsense.Without telling a word, I left the living-room, praying for being in a bad dream and to waking up soon. Exercice 3: Traduction du premier paragraphe: Je savais que quelque chose ne tournait pas rond lorsque après avoir diné papa suivit maman.

Carl et moi sommesallés s'asseoir dans le salon.

Cela ne se produit pas en général.

Le diner ne faisait qu'interrompre le travail que monpère faisait autour de la maison.

Le dimanche après la messe, papa a toujours été pris par la fixation, la peinture, laréparation, le réglage.

Son emploi était toujours à plein temps.

Il exigeait du silence pour se concentrer et une cléanglaise.

Si jamais je lui demandais ce qu'il faisait, il avait à me dire : « je répare quelque chose alors ne venez pasme déranger maintenant » Sujet désiré en échange : Expliquez le texte suivant : « Les sens1, quoique nécessaires pour toutes nos connaissances actuelles2, ne sontpoint suffisants pour nous les donner toutes, puisque les sens ne donnent jamais que des exemples, c'est-à-dire desvérités particulières ou individuelles.

Or tous les exemples qui confirment une vérité générale, de quelque nombrequ'ils soient, ne suffisent pas pour établir la nécessité universelle de cette même vérité, car il ne suit point3 que cequi est arrivé arrivera de même (…) D'où il paraît que les vérités nécessaires, telles qu'on les trouve dans lesmathématiques pures4 et particulièrement dans l'arithmétique et dans la géométrie, doivent avoir des principes dontla preuve ne dépende point des exemples, ni par conséquence des témoignages des sens, quoique sans les sens onne se serait jamais avisé d'y penser.
