Reread pages 32-35. Why do you think that Elya decides not to pick a number to win Myra's hand in marriage? Provide evidence from the text to support your answer.
The reason Elya didn’t pick a number is because Elya was thinking how empty headed Myra Menke is, and how Myra is 15 and Elya is 15 and Igor is 55 so she should have picked Elya. On page 36 it says Elya was wandering through town and was thinking how Myra loved Elya.
Elya does not pick a number because she thought it was not a good idea to marry a fifty - seven year old when you are fifteen.Text evidence says “ I will think of a number between one or ten, I will marry whoever pics the closest number. Ok i'm ready, ten guessed Igor. Elya said nothing marry Igor he muttered.”
Elya did not pick a number because he thought it was stupid because he was 15 and the other dude was 45 he was going to die soon, and Elya had a long life ahead of him.She did not know who to pick too so Elya left.i'll think of a number between 1 and 10. Ill marry whoever guesses the closest number.Okay,i'm ready Ten said Igor Elya said nothing.
The reason Elya didn't chose a number is because Myray couldn't decide who to chose Elya who was 15 or Igor who was 55 when she was 15 he could not understand how Myra couldn't decide
I think that Elya didn’t pick a number because he really wanted to marry Myra Menke but all she said said was “Oh,I know!I’ll pick a number between one and ten and who ever guesses the closest number will get to marry me.Okay i am ready!Then he knew that she didn’t have any love for him and then she married Igor. He even said to himself that he should have carried the pig up the mountain one last time.
The reason why Elya didn't pick a number is because Myras head is as empty as a flower pot and so if Elya married Myra, Myra wouldn't take care of Elya, and Elya just figured that out when Myra said pick a number.
The reason why Elya didn’t pick a number for Myra Menke hand in marriage is, when he he heard Myra Menke say “I’ll think of a number between one and ten.”Instead of picking the person she loved so he decided that Myra head was as empty as a flower pot.After he left Myra Menke house,he found the dock that had a sign that had the words (DECKHAND WANTED FREE PASSAGE TO AMERICA)and went aboard.
Elya did not pick a number because he thought that she loved him but as she was about to pick a number she thought a little bit and realized that she does not love Igor anymore. Next, she had to marry either Igor or Elya with seeing how heavy pigs were and she thought it was a bad idea to do the pig thing. So they said,”pick a number between 1 and 10.” and she said,”That is not a good idea either.
