Hovel

The word hovel doesn't really connect with the moral. I just didn't know what it meant

Conspicuous

The word conspicuous has to do with the moral because that's how Pascal felt when he was walking with the giant crucifix on his back. The moral that goes with this is people have different judgements because it is sometimes necessary to break from the P.O.V of another person, to have your own voice and to be different (*things that are different from the rest are conspicuous*) from the crowd. Just like when Pascal talked back at his mother, he was conspicuous because he was different from the majority (majority meaning his mother and his sister) so he stood out. 

Boulevard

That was a word that I didn't know and not connected to the moral

Vestry

That was just a word that I didn't know an is not connected to the moral.

iPod

The iPod moral in the story might have been hidden and hard to find but if you look closely, it might start to make sense. In the beginning, Pascal liked to listen to his iPod music. In fact, he liked it so much that he was even thinking about putting them on on the way to the crown. When he was in the village and flooding his ears with Coldplay, he wouldn't even share it with the girl because he thought that there will be germs and diseases on the buds after she wears it. This is telling us that technology can wedge between us. When Pascal decided to give the iPod to the girl, that   is telling us that there is a way to go back and take out that wedge (because we don't really need technology, medieval people were surviving fine *if you don't count the black plague*). This moral is faint but still there.

Brittle

The word "brittle" does not have much connection to the moral but it is what Pascal thought off the physical appearance of the homeless person. He could have been thinking that they love their kids or that they obey their god but he was only thinking about their physical shape. This extends to the moral because Pascal shouldn't have just looked at their physical shape but should have also thought about their actions or movements that differentiates a slob from a mannered citizen. Just like how people shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Charitable

The word "charitable" is very much connected to the moral because it means being nice and being nice is basically the moral (it technically is: Don't judge people by their appearances, start out nice). Pascal was first judgemental an paranoid about the homeless people but that didn't turn out well; all he got was a look of disapproval. Then he went back without caring for his safety just to apologize to the girl and was happy at the end (dumb and reckless behaviour but charitable too).

Zombie

Zombie: a horrifying monster of the undead. But in this case the word zombie is used to describe people. The ones that are less fortunate than other tend to be looked down upon. Smelly, poor, bad, unhealthy... But they shouldn't be insulted badly. The word zombie shouldn't be used to describe people. This relates to the moral because Pascal's mother always taught him that poor people are bad which gives him the illusion that the poor people are bad and should be looked at like zombies (and act like a lazy idiots with all kinds of diseases and health problems). Those poor people might look skinny, tired, uneducated and weak but it is very rude to call people zombies, especially if they didn't do anything bad to you. Although Pascal used to believe what his mother said about the homeless people, he doesn't believe it anymore; because he heard the truth, he saw the truth. An that is the moral is exactly that; don't always believe other's experiences, think about your own experiences. The word zombie connects to the story because it is what Pascal's mother taught Pascal to think about when he sees a homeless person. 

Shanties

Shanties are what the poor people live in. These poor homes are related to the story because this story is about not judging or insulting different people (in this case, the poor) just because they have less. Shanties are Pascal's mother's point of view. To some, those same homes could be described as enchanting palaces (probably not but it's possible). Just because they live a lower life, it doesn't mean that they should be treated less than a human. And that is TheMoral; Don't judge a book by its cover. Those homes might look broken and useless but the people that live there might think it's useful and beautiful.

Compulsary

The word compulsory means to have to or to must. This word is used in the story because Pascal was forced to do detention at the church by giving Mass to the poor people. This connects to the moral because if Pascal voluntarily joined the Mass, then it would seem tat he cares for these homeless people in the beginning. But the writer decided to make Pascal be forced to do the Mass to make it look like he didn't like the poor people but warmed up to them later on, making readers feel that Pascal changed from ignorant and careless, to brave and careful. And the moral is just that. You originally think of something in one way but after you experienced it, you think of it in your own way (it might be the same as your original thought but chances are that it's different.

Hymn

The word Hymn is important to the story because this is a story about detention at a catholic or Christian church. Hymns are basically holy songs, making them related to religion or church. I chose to define this word because this story is based on a Christian tradition of giving Mass to the poor. Although this religious story or tradition is important to the story, It isn't really important to the moral which is :

Don't trust everything you hear because people might not be what they seem.

Cathedral

Cathedral is important to this story because religion is the reason that lead Pascal to the crown and meet the truth about the world instead of his mother's view of the world. This story has a lot to do with religion and that everyone should be treated equally and nicely, rich or poor. When Father Dominic set up the table of Mass, he was setting it up for the poor/homeless people that can't go to the church proving that being poor or homeless doesn't mean that you can't have religion or that people need to be treated fairly no matter the economic status.

Delouse

The word "Delouse" doesn't directly connect to the moral but it was what Pascal's mother wanted to do to Pascal when he comes back home from detention. She believed that the homeless people are filthy(there ARE actually dirty/filthy), disgusting and too lazy to get a job (which is why she wanted to delouse Pascal). Although Pascal used to believe this as well, he recently changed what he believed because of a personal experience/encounter that he had with a girl that he developed a "crush". He knows that he doesn't need to overstep the "meeting" and get deloused when a simple shower will do.
