FORCED INTO MARRIAGE

Judy Woodruff : But, first: today on Capitol Hill,
a Senate hearing looked into ending the practice
overseas of child marriage. But what wasn’t
examined, thousands of American girls and
women here in the United States who are forced
into marriage every year.
In the first of two parts, special correspondent
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon reports.
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon: For Nina Van Harn,
raising her children today is a radical departure
from her own upbringing
Nina van Harn: My childhood was part magical,
and part complicated.
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon: She was raised in rural
Michigan on a 40-acre farm in a tight-knit
community that practiced a conservative
form of evangelical Christianity. Its members
largely kept to themselves, more “Little House on
the Prairie” than modern-day America.
Growing up, she always knew one day was coming
She recorded its arrival in her diary.
Nina Van Harn: “Dear Kit” — that was the name
of the girl in the journal — “You will never guess
what happened today. Th is morning after breakfast,
Papa sat Naomi and I down at the kitchen
table and nailed us both with a load of bricks. He
believes he found husbands for both of us.”
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon: Then Van Harn turned
19. She was legally an adult. There was no gun to
her head, no chains around her wrists. But
because of lifelong pressures from her family
and her upbringing, she considers herself one of
thousands of American women and girls forced
into marriage each year.
Nina Van Harn: I knew that I wasn’t going to
say no. I didn’t think consciously in my head,
“I’m being forced”.


SET 1

WB p 66

• My = Cassia’s  us = young people, 17-year-old
• The girls can be identified thanks to their
beautiful dresses and the boys thanks to their
tailored suits while the others are wearing plain,
normal clothes.
• This system consists in matching girls
with boys: “the Matches are announced in
alphabetical order according to the girls’ last
names.”
• How does this extract illustrate the text on
the back cover of Matched?
This extract deals with the ceremony during
which the teenagers are matched. It is Cassia’s
“night”. The Society will choose Cassia’s partner
and will announce it in alphabetical order
according to the girls’ last names. We learn that
they can be matched with people from “other
City Halls”, so they probably do not know them.

PBS News report → WB p. 67


The link between the document and the
extract from Matched is forced marriages.
The other details are that she is talking
about child marriages that happen in America.
a. Your expectations
• The woman’s identity
• The name of her husband
• When she was forced into marriage?
• Who forced her to get married?
• Why?
b. Your notes after listening to the report.
• Nina Van Harn: American –
religious (Evangelical Christian)
• She was forced to get married at 19
• Her father found her husband
• She had no option / She did not even think of refusing
c. Here is the diary page that the woman reads
in the report. Can you spot the sentence where
she reveals “what happened today”? Underline it.
“He believes he has found husbands for us both.

SET 2

WB p. 69


What is the role and the objective of these commissions?
They had to choose the best of everything, so
that the Society would only keep the 100 best
poems, songs, paintings, stories…
Why did they choose to create these commissions?
Do you agree with them?
They chose to create them because they
thought you cannot appreciate things fully when
there are too many.
I agree in a way because sometimes, it is difficult
to appreciate movies or TV series since there
are too many. Sometimes you do not even know
what to choose. Yet, I think it is dangerous to
select a limited number of works of art because
artists must be able to express themselves, and people must have the choice to read, watch
and listen to anything they want.
• How does this extract illustrate the text on the
back cover of Matched?
 It shows that the Society dictates everything:
not only who people are going to marry, but also
what they can read or see. They are not free.
Everything is controlled.

American Teenager’s blog WB p. 70

• What are the links between the title, the first
paragraph and the extract from Matched?
 On peut remarquer le lien qu’établit la jeune bloggeuse
entre la sélection drastique opérée par la
Commission dans Matched et la censure de
certaines oeuvres dans la vraie vie.
• What country is it?
 It is the USA because the school board that
wanted to ban a book was in Pennsylvania.
• Do you agree?
 I agree with the author: if we can consider
burning books that we do not approve of, it
means one day many books could be forbidden.
We would not have choice of books, films, songs…
And it would be very sad because there would be no diversity.

SET 3

WB p. 71

I = Cassia him = Ky
• Do you understand what Cassia doesn’t know
how to do?
She does not know how to write. She can only
type, on a keyboard.
• In the Society of Matched, everything that people
type is monitored.
If “all they can do is type” and if everything
that they type is monitored, it means that
everything they want to express if monitored,
they are under surveillance all the time and can
never express themselves freely.
• What advantage does handwriting give Ky?
“He can write words whenever he wants”, so he
can express himself whenever he wants, and can
write something and erase it. He is free.
• How does this extract illustrate the words:
“Society dictates” on the back cover of Matched?
It shows that the Society dictates everything:
not only who people are going to marry, but
the way people express themselves. They are
not free since they do not know how to write,
so they are completely dependent on the
computers of the Society, which are monitored.
Everything is controlled.

In the press → WB p. 72

Read the headlines to understand the topic.
Do you understand the link with the text from
Matched?
The link is the loss of handwriting, the fact that
people may not know how to write in cursive
anymore.
Now read these comments published in an
article “Is handwriting slowly dying out in America?”
and then give your own opinion.
Productions possibles :
• I agree with Jacob Fender: if we cannot write in
cursive and there is a blackout, we won’t be able
to communicate because the computers will not
work!
• I think Sammi Hascher is right: if you can only
type, you will be totally dependent on your
smartphone or computer.
• I think it’s important to learn how to write to
express yourself.
• Plus, you can be creative.
• Writing makes you independent. It’s an
important skill. Men mustn’t depend on
machines.
I agree with Graham, it is true that we have
electronic signatures so we do not need to sign
with a pen.

4eme corrige exercices p 113 livre


script interview Roald Dahl

When you’re writing a book, with people in it as opposed to animals ,it is no good having people who are ordinary, because they are not going to interest your readers at all.
Every writer in the world has to use the characters that have something interesting about them
and  this is even more true in children’s books.
 I find that the only way to make my characters really interesting to children is to exaggerate all their
good or bad qualities and so, if a person is nasty or bad or cruel, you make them very nasty, very
bad, very cruel.
If they are ugly, you make them extremely ugly. That I think is fun and makes
an impact.
