QUESTION 3
In Chapter 9, you may have some moving moments or descriptions in this
chapter, since this chapter tells about a unique town village named Le
Chambon-sur-Lignon, which had been home to a variety of religious asylum
seekers through ages and to the persecuted Jewish people in the heyday of
Nazis rule in Europe. If you are moved by some segment or fact, or action of
some figures in this chapter, state it or them and explain or describe why it is so.
If, unfortunately, none of the chapter gives you any feeling, so confessing you
are phlegmatic and impassive, then just state it and provide your reasoning for
why you think so.
