Jen stood at the font looking weary.she was only thirty but she had borne four children and worked down the pit for twenty-three years and she was worn out.
Mr york sprinkled water on her baby's head.the her husband Saul repeated the form of words that made a slave of every Scottish miner'sson.

Les premièeres réponses sont correctes.
Les 2 dernières questions signifient:
Contre quoi Mack a-t-il décidé de se"révolté"? Pourquoi a-t-il choisi ce moment et ce lieu (l'église et le baptème)?

Mack veut défier "a fat merchant" et il se révolte contre l'ordre établi des choses: tout enfant de mineur doit devenir mineur (the form of words that made a slave of every Scottish miner's son).

Essiae de mettre cela en anglais et de trouver les réponses dans le texte et on revient corriger.
Courage!

As he stood up he caught Mack'seye.For a moment the two men stood staring at one another.Then Sir George began to walk to the font.Mack stepped into the central aisle of the little churche and said loudly: the payment of arles il meaninggless.Sir george froze in midstep and all heads turned to loo AT mACK.tHERE was moment of shocked silence.Mack could hear his own heartbeat.This ceremony has no force Mack declared the boy may not be pledged to the mine .A child can't be enslaved.Sir George said sit down you young fool and shut your mouth.The patronozing dismissal angered Mack so much that all his doubts vanished.You sit down he said recklessy and the congregation gaspedat his insolence.He pointed à finger at Mr york.YOu spoke about truth in your sermon pastor will you stand up for truth now? THE clergyman looked at mack with a worried air what is this all about mc ASH? now you know the law of scotland york said in a reasonable tone. Coal miners are the property of the mine owner.As soon as a man has worked a year and a day he loses jis freedom. Saul spoke up we need the money Mack he protested. Sir George flushed purple he was not used to being defied so perstently.I will deal with you when the service is over he said angrily . He handed the purse to SAUL THEN turned o the pastor .Carry on please MR YORK.

Avec la deuxième partie, c'est beaucoup plus facile ! :)
what has MACK decided to stand up against ?
He has decided to stand up to challenge the law :"As soon as a man has worked a year and a day he loses jis freedom". He does not want that destiny for Jen's young child.

Why has he chosen this time and place ?
He has chosen that moment because the church is full of people who could listen to him. He also speaks to the clergyman and wants to know where the truth is: freedom acording to God or slavery according to men and Sir Jamisson in particular).
"He pointed a finger at Mr york.YOu spoke about truth in your sermon pastor will you stand up for truth now?".

Mack =Jen's cousin
Sir George Jamisson = a mine owner
Saul = Jen's husband and miner
Mr York = (clergyman), pastor
Jen = Mack's cousin, mother of 4, Saul's wife, miner
Willie = Jen and Saul's child, miner
Harry Ratchett = the viewer. (je pense que c'est cela car je ne connait pas viwer!)

Voilà.
Bonne continuation
