Je viens d'allez voir mais je trouve aucune traduction :/
Pour ceux qui veulent m'aider voila deja le texte :

As the man and horse draw nearer, Reed recognizes him and calls out.

"Mr. Keseberg!"

The German is not going to stop, so Jim overtakes him.

"Keseberg, hold on! What are you carrying there?"

"Something for my wife, to help her sleep a little easier."

Jim rides in closer. Two shaggy hides are heaped across the pommel. "Looks like buffalo."

"Indeed it is."

Jim has not seen a buffalo for several days. Keseberg isn't much of a shot, in any event, nor could he have skinned a creature for its hide, even had he somehow brought one down.

"May I ask where it comes from?"

"This was a gift."

"A gift?"

"From a dead Indian. The best Indian is a dead Indian. Isn't that what you Americans say?"

Keseberg seems to think this is funny. His mouth spreads in a boastful grin.

"Some say that. I do not."

"But surely you will agree that these are fine specimens."

Keseberg is a handsome fellow, with penetrating blue eyes and a full head of blond hair that hangs to his collar. Knowing that he crossed the ocean less than two years ago, Jim is willing to make allowances. He wants to get along with this man, though he does not like him much. They will all need one another sooner or later.

"Have you had much experience with Indians, Keseberg?"

"As little as possible."

"If these robes come from a funeral scaffold, you'd better put them back."

His smile turns insolent. "So you can ride out later and take them for yourself?"

"When I want a buffalo robe I will trade for it, not steal it."

"And in the meantime you would leave these out here to rot in the sun and in the rain."
[...]
"Mr. Keseberg, these robes are not yours to keep."

"Nonsense," he says.

Jim's color rises. "They have to be returned!"

With sudden gaiety that could be a form of mockery, Keseberg says, "My God, man! The sun is going down! The day is done! My dinner will be waiting!"

He gallops away toward the wagons, sitting tall, as if he is a show rider in a circus troupe.

By the time Jim catches up to him, Keseberg has dismounted and is holding high one of the long robes for his wife to see, speaking endearments in German as he presents her with this gift.
[...]
Half a dozen emigrants from other wagons have stopped whatever they were doing to watch,[...] as Reed climbs off the mare.

"Keseberg, you idiot!"

Turning to the small circle of observers, with his hands thrown wide, Keseberg says, "Why is this man calling me a criminal?"

"You are a criminal! Dammit, man. If the Sioux come after us, you and I will be killed, our wives will be taken, our children too!"

He is shouting. His eyes are wide and fierce.

Someone calls out, "Hey Jim, what's got into you?"

"These are burial robes! But Keseberg thinks they belong to him!"

"Better him than the Indians," one fellow says.

"Haw haw," laughs another.

"I don't know," says a third. "Wouldn't mess with them Sioux."

"Me neither," says someone else. "Ain't worth no buffalo skins."

"I wouldn't mind pickin' off a brave or two," the first fellow says. "Whatta we got rifles for?"

"I think Jim is right. Maybe you'd pick off a few, but you wouldn't live to tell the story. Any way you look at it, we'd be outnumbered a hundred to one, and don't you think otherwise. It ain't worth it. I'd get rid a them hides right now."
[...]
Now Keseberg cannot look at his wife, who has been mystified by all the turmoil, her eyes darting wildly from voice to voice.
[...]
"All right. I will do it first thing in the morning."

Jim says, "We'd better do it now."

Keseberg puffs out his chest and begins to prance back and forth, slamming a fist into his palm, pop pop pop, as if he has been condemned to the firing squad and has now been denied his final request.

"And I'll go with you."

"I said I'd do it!" Keseberg cries. "My word is good!"

Jim says, "You'll need someone to hold your horse."

1. The story takes place in the mid 19th century.
"He gallops away toward the wagons"
If the Sioux come after us, you and I will be killed,

En fait c'est à l'époque de la guerre avec les indiens donc j'ai mis cela même s'il n'y a pas vraiment d'indices qui tendent vers le milieu du 19è siècle. L'histoire commence en 1866

2. The quarrel is about Indian burial robes that Kesley stole from a dead Indian. The robe is a gift for Mr. Kesley's wife. Jim wants him to put them back because if the Indians sees this, they would kill them.
3. ok toutes sauf la c c'est keyseberg

4. Kesley has not seen a buffalo for a while. And he can't imagine kesley catching and killing a buffalo and making a robe with its skin.

5. He is ready to be indulgent towards Keysley because Keysley came to America just two years ago. So he guess Kesley is not familiar with the Indian habits. He wants to get along with Keysley because someday they will need to rely on each other.

6.Keseberg first says that those robes will be useful and he intends to offer them to his wife . Then , in a very funny way, he tries to justify himself by quoting General Custer's famous phrase ' the best indian is a dead indian'. He implies that since the indian whose robes have been taken ou stolen (les deux marchent) is dead , there is nothing wrong with what he has done and he sees no reason why Reed should disapprove, since he is dead . He is quite sure of his argument and even thinks he has been right_. When Reed orders him to go and put them back where they belong, he bocomes insulting and insolent , asserting that Reed will go back later and take them for himself. Finally, he proves that he is completely disrespectul and ignorant of indian burial when he insists on the fact that he cannot see the point in leaving them in the sun_ and the rain_ when they can be of some us .

Pardon je veux dire Keseberg

Pour la 5, on te demande pourquoi jim est indulgent avec Keseberg et en fait dans le texte on dit qu'il n'est qu'en amérique que depuis moins de deux ans et donc on insinue qu'il ne connaît pas les coutumes indiennes et de plus, Jim pense qu'un jour ils auront besoin de l'un et de l'autre...

Knowing that he crossed the ocean less than two years ago, Jim is willing to make allowances. He wants to get along with this man, though he does not like him much. They will all need one another sooner or later.

Sachant qu'il a traversé l'océan il y a moins de deux ans, Jim est prêt à faire des concessions. Il veut s'entendre avec cet homme, bien qu'il ne l'apprédie guère. Ils auront besoin de l'un et de l'autre tôt ou tard.

Il faut que tu choisisses une des rédactions
je t'avouerais que le a ne m'inspire pas non plus (lol)

Moi je prendrais la C sur les westerns
dans le b on te demande pourquoi les westerns sont devenus populaires dans le monde. et pourquoi ils ne le sont plus maintenant.

Je dirais que c'est lié à l'époque, les acteurs (john wayne...) et que maintenant les jeunes sont plus intéressés par la science fiction car les westerns sont d'une autre époque et ne font plus rêver.

9) Who gets the upper hand in the quarrel ?
Jim gets the upper hand in the quarrel because at the end Keseberg gives in and is going to put the robes back.

) What do you think is going to happen after Jim has finished speaking ? ( il dise entre parenthéses l.96 donc cela correspond a la toute derniere ligne du texte )
I assume that Jim is going to go with Keseberg in order to make sure that Keseyberg will put the burial robes back because he does not trust him completely.

Voila déjà le debut de ma redaction ( je me suis aidé d'un dictionnaire tellement je suis nulle ^^ )

Westerns are ancient movies that marked more or less the generation of our grandparents. Today, westers movies are broadcast less as now these are more horror movies and science fiction movies.
Do you or don't like westers ?
For me, the western has his good and bad quote. That is why we will first his good side and a second time his bad side.

I really like watching old wester movies that take us into a generation that we have not known. The old movies are the best. These days, movies that appear on television, it's violence and total nudity. I am sick oh hearing these vulgar languages. Most movies that you try to watch these days, usually begins by showing naked people. It is difficult to sit and watch a movie with your family when we have young children , because 99% of them these days have a lot of nudity and sex scenes in them with a lot of violence and vulgar language. So, movies westerns reflete the wisdom, since an unknown civization ( puisqu'ils mettent en scenes ) Indians that have their way of different from ours. Today, movies show things supernatural, which doest not exist, it does not show reality.

voila la chose ^^ j'espère que tu comprendra ce que j'ai voulu dire

Westerns are old movies and were very popular among older generations. Today, they are less broadcast on TV because younger generations like science fiction or horror movies better than western movies.
I personally like watching western movies because they talk about a part of the US history that I did not live. This is very interesting and educational. But western movies can also have good and bad sides. Nowadays, movies that are on TV can be violent and show some nudity. They can be vulgar and I am sick and tired of hearing this bad language. Most movies begin with scenes of nudity and sex scenes and it is quite difficult to sit and watch those movies with your family notably when you are with young children. Unlike those movies, western movies are more entertaining and wiser. They can be watched with younger children because they teach a part of the US history such as Fort Alamo, Davy Crockett.... Beside this, we learn more about the Indian tradition. This is also true that western movie can be violent because there is always a gunfighter against another gunfighter. But this is a "soft" violence in my opinion anyway.
Right now, the young generation is more interested in supernatural movies that can be very scary.
I am totally convinced that those movies are a fad and someday western movies will be popular again. It is just a question of time.

a fad : une mode... qui va passer
