Offerings At The Wall Analysis
The article, “Offerings at The Wall,” by Don Moser gives the reader a better understanding of why John Wilson leaves a gift at the wall each summer in honor of his friend, Leon because the article talks about how tons of different people bring offerings to their late loved ones and why they do such a thing. This quote from the short story, “Zebra,” by Chaim Potok discusses about The Wall and what John Wilson did with Zebra’s drawings: “The photograph showed John Wilson down on his right knee before a glistening dark wall…. Leaning against the wall to his right was Zebra’s drawing of the helicopter and the zebra racing together across a facelike landscape…. The wall behind John Wilson seemed to glitter with a strange black light” (Potok 60).
