Sure, I can help you with that! "Saboteur" is a short story written by Ha Jin. To describe the character of the professor, we need to refer to specific details from the story. Here are at least three details to support your description:
1. In the beginning of the story, when the professor is wrongfully detained by the police in Muji City, he is described as a mild-mannered man. This can be seen from his obedient and cooperative behavior when he is questioned by the police, even though he is innocent. The professor's calm and non-threatening demeanor is evident as he politely answers the questions posed to him.
2. As the story progresses and the professor continues to be unjustly detained, we observe a change in his character. He becomes more frustrated, indignant, and defiant. For example, he refuses to confess to a crime he did not commit and protests against the maltreatment he is subjected to. This shows that the professor stands up for his rights and can be bold in his actions, even in the face of adversity.
3. Towards the end of the story, when the professor is released from custody, we see his desire for justice and revenge. He writes a letter to the police department, detailing the mistreatment he experienced and demanding an apology. This highlights his determination to fight for what he believes is right and his refusal to let the injustice go unaddressed.
By incorporating these details from the story, you can build a description of the professor's character, emphasizing his initial mild-mannered nature, his transformation into a more assertive and defiant individual, and his desire for justice and retribution.
I don't think anyone has read this work, but the directions are quite clear:
1. Consider the professor carefully. You may even want to read and re-read the story and take notes on all of the professor's character traits.
2. Write one sentence describing him briefly in at least three different ways.*
3. Write three or more sentences that refer to particular events or actions in the story that support your description of him.
4. Write a conclusion sentence, perhaps telling whether you'd like to know this man.
