Guidelines for Essay Writing

Question 1 (page 32 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
The situation of Mrs. Dau when the enforcers invade:
+ The family's circumstances: selling children, selling dogs, carrying loads of potatoes, desperately collecting taxes for the husband and the deceased brother-in-law.
+ The husband, critically ill, thought to be dying, is beaten unconscious due to tax arrears.

Question 2 (page 32 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
- Cai Le: the leader of the gang of enforcers in the district, specializing in assaulting people is his 'profession.'
- Scene of Cai Le entering Mrs. Dau's house:
+ Whipping his head down to the ground, shouting in a hoarse voice.
+ Professional thug, expert in tying up people is his 'profession.'
+ Rudely addressing, mocking 'you - man.'
- Inherently brutal, fierce: glaring eyes, roaring voice, thundering movements, always hitting Mrs. Dau, slapping her face.
- His language is animalistic; he only knows how to yell, shout, and growl.
- Ruthless, heartless, indifferent to Mrs. Dau's desperate pleas.
=> Cai Le is just a nameless, low-ranking thug but swaggering, brutal, daring to do inhumane things in the name of 'state' and 'national law.' This is the most realistic image of the ruling class at that time: cruel, brutal, lacking humanity.

Question 3 (page 33 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
- Mrs. Dau endures, tolerates:
+ Initially, 'earnestly begs,' politely addressing 'younger relative,' calling 'sir.'
+ Only when Cai Le 'hits Mrs. Dau's chest... several times and ties up Mr. Dau,' she can't bear it anymore and bravely resists.
+ Mrs. Dau uses logical arguments, speaking naturally: 'my husband is critically ill...being tormented' -> addressing 'I' - 'sir' on equal terms, sternly warning the evildoer.
+ After Cai Le 'slaps Mrs. Dau's face,' she 'grits her teeth': 'you tie up your husband' -> changing from 'I - sir' to 'you - ma'am.'
+ She pushes Cai Le, who topples over, grabbing the hair of the family's headman, falling onto the doorstep.
=> Mrs. Dau's resistance is fueled by frustration, indignation, and resentment. Her actions are spontaneous yet resilient, determined, and fitting with the emotional development. Mrs. Dau is a character who loves her husband, cares for her child, submissive yet strong and resolute.

Question 4 (page 33 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
The title 'Tức nước vỡ bờ' reflects the law: oppression leads to resistance.
- Analyzing the entire content of the work, 'Tức nước vỡ bờ' is a reasonable name that fits the story's development.
- The title signifies that when people are oppressed, exploited, they will resist strongly. This strength comes from human consciousness and love for family.

Question 5 (page 33 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
- The author creates a tense situation in the story: after earnestly begging, speaking logically, but Cai Le still aggressively approaches to tie up Mrs. Dau, she resists.
- Artistic depiction of character traits:
+ Mrs. Dau: patient, enduring, yet with hidden vitality, strong.
+ Cai Le: cruel, animalistic, defiant, and violent.
- Contrast in physical descriptions through opposing artistry:
+ Mrs. Dau: robust, vigorous, determined.
+ Enforcers: frail, like addicts, falling over...
- Storytelling language and dialogue reveal deep, complex character developments.
- The description of the resistance between Mrs. Dau and the enforcers through flexible, unique writing.
=> This 'skillful' passage in the text demonstrates the author's creation of contrasting character lines, especially bringing to life the image of a strong, resilient rural woman confronting a gang of brutal oppressors demanding the right to live in an unjust, oppressive society.

Question 6 (page 31 of Literature Textbook 8, volume 1):
- Reflects the true law: oppression and exploitation will inevitably lead to resistance.
- Ngô Tất Tố sees the latent strength of the peasants' struggle.
- The act of resistance is spontaneous, igniting the spark for subsequent uprisings.
- Only through violence can the struggle resolve oppression, the chains of the semi-feudal colonial regime.

I. READING - COMPREHENDING THE TEXT

Question 1. When the enforcers barged in, Mrs. Dau's situation was extremely pitiful:
- She had just delicately served a bowl of porridge to her husband, eagerly waiting to see if he enjoyed it.
- Mr. Dau, just 'tremblingly brought the bowl of porridge to his mouth,' when the two enforcers 'swaggered in' with hands full of 'whips, bamboo rods, and ropes,' the embodiment of disaster.

Question 2: Analyzing the character Cai Le:
a, He is a professional enforcer very skilled in the art of enforcing:
+ Cai, leading the group of enforcers in the district (the type of soldiers specialized in enforcing rather than combat).
+ He is the most representative figure of the enforcers, an effective tool of that social disorder.
- Cai Le was sent to Dong Xa village to assist the village chief in tax collection. He was very agile, often wielding the whip alongside the village chief to intimidate, curse, and tie up those in houses lacking taxes.
+ In the tax collection mission, Cai Le acted like a ferocious hunting dog, seemingly completely absorbed in punishing tax evaders:
b) Among the crowd of enforcers from the authorities, the village chief's enforcer is just a 'flag bearer,' a low-ranking, anonymous thug. But his fierce, defiant appearance still holds a unique representative value; he is a 'Thunderbolt,' an iron hammer in the hands of the ruling class, representing the oppressive function of that cruel regime feasting on human flesh.

Question 3: Analyzing the psychological development of Mrs. Dau:
+ Mr. Dau was too weak and terrified, 'rolling on the floor without being able to say a word.'
+ Mrs. Dau had to confront them alone to protect her husband.
+ Initially, she 'earnestly begged' them. In her situation at that time, begging was the only option.
+ But when Cai Le responded to Mrs. Dau's heartfelt pleas with a 'rolling of his eyes' and aggression, throwing bags onto Mrs. Dau's chest and approaching Mr. Dau, only then did 'apparently unable to bear it any longer, Mrs. Dau bravely resisted.' Mrs. Dau's resistance also had two different steps, different degrees. Initially, she 'resisted' with reason:
+ 'My husband is sick, you are not allowed to harm him!' In reality, Mrs. Dau did not know specific laws; she spoke only of natural principles, the minimum moral principles of a human. Her posture at this time was completely different from before: not a submissive bowing down to beg, but the posture of an equal, sternly warning the evildoers. But when the ruthless Cai Le turned back to 'slap Mrs. Dau on the face and then jumped to the side of Mr. Dau,' Mrs. Dau rose with a terrifying, sudden strength.
- Mrs. Dau 'gritted her teeth' (a sign of high-level anger, unbearable) and issued a fierce, intense challenge:
'You tie my husband immediately, I'll show you!' No more verbal struggle, she decided to physically fight these wicked ones. Mrs. Dau acted with the power of hatred, indignation: 'Seizing the neck' of Cai Le, 'pushing him towards the door,' making 'him fall over.'
