Tears in Rain

The test is out of 90. The midterm is 30%, so I just divide by three. I want to do a gangster movie.

Snatch means to steal or rob.

Gypsie, pikey, Irish traveler. They are poor people that live in caravans and move around a lot. The stereotype is that they steal and are good fighters. Gypsies originally come from India about 1000 years ago.

He is hungover from the wake.

A wake is a drinking party after a funeral. Remember his mother burned to death.

HOMEWORK:

Roy Batty, the lead android in Blade Runner, says this: 

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

Write a few sentences to explain what Roy means. Also explain why he is in this situation.
