Has anyone seen Fiddler on the Roof if so i was wondering if you could help me.

How did the traditions keep the family and village together?

Do you feel the gradual loss of these traditions also led to teh break up pf the family?

What was the symbolisim of the fiddler throughout the movie?

What do you think it means when he follows tevye to america?

Thanx

Your homework will be more rewarding (if possibly graded lower) if you do it yourself ya know.

Yeah well not everyone has a keen mind full of intelligence like you! Some of us are actuallly pretty dense. I would do it myself but where would that get me in life?

lol! Good response there C/B. (Can I call you Craz? Or maybe just ful... Or how about.... zy_bea?)

Well, Knowing that stuff will certainly not get you a career as a succesful criminal defense lawer (A.K.A scum of the earth) but the process of acumulating that knowledge through your own means and research may prove invaluable.......


*Sighs*

Just so happens you came to the right place because I have seen the movie and I'm increadibly bored and it's really late but I've become an insomniac as of late and frankly have nothing better to do than your homework because I'm on exam break and have no homework of my own and those stupid T.V. soft-**** shows are all re-runs and the internet ***** is all sick/anal/dick/hardcore/fat........ Anyway, your question.......


1. The traditions kept the familly and the village together because it provided a basis for unspoken law. The town was too small for a police force and so disputes or disagreements where setled by means of religious beliefs. Kind of like the honour system. It works as long as everyone is honourable which toward the end of the movie breaks down and there is a loss of control within the comunity. The same can be said with the familly as each daughter manages to break the honour code but get away with it. Eventually everything falls apart.

2. See above.

3. The fiddler's symbolism was two-fold, the one, he always played klesmer or gypsie style music, the style that was traditional, but he was also a sort of mocking figure to the main character. Sort of reminding him of the old ways and how he wasn't following them. He was god.

4. When he follows him to america, he is giving up his old life. The old ways are gone.



Don't quote me word for word, use it as a frame to make your own responses or your teacher will know you copied them. Trust me, I have a very unique writing style which I know isn't yours from looking at your posts.........
