Eddie finally decides to talk to Beck. Write their conversation about the future of Manhattan.

Alice Hoffman, The Museum of Extraordinary Things, 2014

Now, here it was, the last Saturday in March, and Eddie settled down with his rod. He'd left his studio in the dark, and it was hardly daybreak when he began to fish. On both sides of the Hudson the sky was struck with a hazy pink glow. He'd brought along night crawlers1 and crusts of bread in an old tin pail. Eddie avoided the Harlem River — it was overcrowded and overfished, even more so than the Hudson, littered with oystering boats. Several bridges had recently been built across the waters, disturbing the marsh birds. He knew it wouldn't be long before the countryside disappeared, as it had in Chelsea, where there was pavement everywhere.
Through the new leaves of the locust trees, Eddie spied Beck fishing farther down along the bank. An encounter with the old man appeared unavoidable, for the hermit gazed over and nodded. Eddie returned the greeting, considering how to best keep his distance. Beck was known to chase off intruders with a rifle, and there were those who said he vowed to kill any man who hunted the wildlife that was rapidly becoming rare, coyotes and fox and the huge, cantankerous2 wild turkeys. Past the area of Washington Heights was Hudson Heights, the highest altitude in Manhattan, at 265 feet above sea level. There was the pastoral village of Inwood, and although the subway ran this far, this section of north Manhattan was still dotted with small farms, including a house once owned by the Audubon family. Eddie joined the hermit in his agitation over the constant building in Manhattan. Apartment buildings were rising everywhere.

1 Night crawlers: worms
2 Cantankerous: bad-tempered

  • Il s'agit d'écrire un dialogue entre deux personnages clairement identifiés tout en respectant les traits de personnalité qui se dessinent dans le texte fourni.
  • Il faut éviter de rédiger dans un registre trop familier ; au contraire, il faut montrer une maîtrise du vocabulaire se rapportant à l'environnement
  • Il est préférable de varier le lexique : adverbes, verbes relatifs à la façon dont s'expriment les personnages, etc.

Eddie: Hi there, how's the fishing going?
Beck: Well, you know, not worse than usual. But I tell you, I come here every morning, I bring my rod and stuff and pretend we're still in the good old days, but really it breaks my heart to see our river like this, just this huge construction site. And well, I'm being polite; you don't know how much it really annoys me!
Eddie: You're sure right about the river. Those bridges, those buildings, who knows when it will stop... and what the animals will become... But you know, I'm afraid that's the way the world goes today, and there's nothing we can do about it. You have to move with the times.
Beck: Hey, I didn't ask for anything, I've been a good man all my life, but I won't let them destroy my place like that, just because they have more money and more power. Look at what they're doing to Manhattan! I can be mean too, if I'm pushed too far. See this rifle, here? Well, let them come and try to make me leave or hurt the birds, I kill them.
Eddie: Man, I don't think violence can help. They'll crush you anyway, and they will take our countryside away from us. It sure sounds pessimistic, but as I have already said, there's nothing we can do. That's what they call progress, and you just have to resign yourself to it.
Beck: So you'll watch them cover the ground with concrete, spoil the landscape, hide the sky from us with these ugly buildings going higher and higher, and you'll just stare?
Eddie: You make it sound so bad. Who knows, maybe some good things will come out of it, maybe progress has some good in it.
Beck: Hmm, I'm too old, boy, progress is not for me... You take care anyway, and I'll see you around.
Eddie: Yeah, see you around. Have a nice day.
Beck: Nice day too.
