提出課題（少々長いです）

お願いします小説のホールズを使った提出課題があります。以下が課題の説明文です 1. Basic Information (required) Introduce the title and author of the book. Briefly describe the plot and several of the main characters. Be careful to leave out the ending of the story. You don’t want to tell the reader the ending, especially if you are trying to persuade the person to read the book. 2. Highlights (optional) Describe the highlights or your favorite parts of the book and explain why you liked them. 以下が私の文です　※２のハイライトはまだ２つ目を選んでいるところなのでとりあえず一つだけです。　文中の（）は自分の言いたいことです The title of the novel is "Holes" and the author is Louis Sachar. A boy, whose name is Stanley, he is a central character. This story starts from shoes fall down to Stanley's head. He alleges that he stole baseball player’s shoes but he is innocent. He is sent to Green lake Camp that place is correction facility, he go there as criminal person. Since he is very shy and gawky, in the camp, he is always teased from another camper. Through a certain incident, he had changes a lot. It was another main character Zero's existence. Zero is reticent, no relatives and black. He does not open up to everybody first but only Stanley melt his heart. Later, Zero break out from the institution. Stanley makes up his mind to run after him. they bite the bullet for their adversity and they are headed to "the promised land" I would like to describe two favorite parts of the narrative. In chapter 32 of "Holes", by Louis Sachar, Stanley makes up his minds that run after Zero to save him. This scene has another meaning. Not only Stanley would be often teased by bully since he was little child, but also in the camp, some bully pokes fun at him. He always blames Stanley's great-great-grandfather. Therefore, His breakout is symbolic of break with his past and break the traumatic cycle. This is the most pivotal scene of this book. At last he is emancipated from the Birdcage called Fate and he chooses freedom instead of being shackle.(彼はやっと運命と言う名の鳥かごから開放され束縛ではなく自由を選んだ) At the moment that he takes the wheel, he changes his destiny by himself.（ハンドルを握った瞬間、彼は自分で運命を変える） This is my most favorite scene in this story. ※出だしのThe title of the novel is "Holes" and the author is Louis Sachar. ですがもう少し歯切れのいい言い方ってないでしょうか ※小説などの感想を書くときの時制がいまいち分かっていないのですが以前どこかで「現在で書いたら現在で通す」と聞いたような覚えがあるのですが正しいでしょうか？よろしくお願いします＜（＿　＿）＞

この文における"off of"の役割を教えてください。

やはり、Louis Sacharの『HOLES』からです。 "Zigzag made a gagging sound, as he desperately tried to pry Zero's arm off of him" という文なのですが、この文で"off of"はどう解釈すればよいのでしょうか？状況としては、Zero(登場人物の一人)がZigzag(登場人物の一人)の首をチョークホールドしていて、Zigzagが必死にそれをはずそうとしているところです。このoff ofはこの文の直前にも出てきておりまして、抽出すると、 "Then, suddenly Zigzag was off of him. Stanley managed to look up, and he saw that Zero had his arm around Zigzag's long neck." とあります。ニュアンス的には、どちらも、"～から外す、離れる"といった感じになるような気がするのですが、それなら、"off"だけでいいのではないかと思ってしまいます。いかがでしょうか？よろしくお願いします。

『The sound of summer ～』

Ray Bradburyの『The sound of summer running』という短編からの質問です。 Well, he felt sorry for boys who lived in California where they wore tennis shoes all year and never knew what it was to get winter off your feet, peel off the iron leather shoes all full of snow and rain and run barefoot for a day and then lace on the first new tennis shoes of the season, which was better than barefoot. The magic was always in the new pair of shoes. The magic might die by the first of September, but now in late June there was still plenty of magic, and shoes like these could jump you over trees and rivers and houses. And if you wanted, they could jump you over fences and sidewalks and dogs. “Don’t you see?” said Douglas. “I just can’t use last year’s pair.” For last year’s pair were dead inside. They had been fine when he started them out, last year. But by the end of summer, every year, you always found out, you always knew, you couldn’t really jump over rivers and trees and houses in them, and they were dead. But this was a new year, and he felt that this time, with this new pair of shoes, he could do anything, anything at all. They walked up on the steps to their house. “Save your money,” said Dad. “In five or six weeks—” “Summer’ll be over!” ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ they wore tennis shoes all year and never knew what it was to get winter off your feet, peel off the iron leather shoes all full of snow and rainについてですが it was to get winter off your feet～は、be動詞+to不定詞で、「あなたの足から冬を取り去ることになる」という予定の意味ですか？ all full of snow and rainが、文にどのようにつながるのかわかりません。前置詞がないような？それとも the iron leather shoesと all full of snow and rainの間で切れているのか・・？＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ last year’s pair were dead inside.の個所について deadは「すたれた」の意味ですか？＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊教えていただけるとありがたいです。よろしくお願いいたします。

　Zero collapsed. The shovel stayed

　Zero collapsed. The shovel stayed up a fraction of a second longer, perfectly balanced on the tip of the blade, then it fell next to him. 　Zero knelt, bent over with his head on the ground. Stanley could hear a very low moaning sound coming from him. He looked at the shovel and couldn't help but think that he might need it to dig a grave. Zero's last hole. 　And who will dig a grave for me? he thought. 　But Zero did get up, once again flashing thumbs-up. 　"Give me some words," he said weakly. 　It took Stanley a few seconds to realize what he meant. Then he smile and said, Run." 　Zero sounded it out to himself. "Rr-un, run. Run." 　"Good. F-u-n." 　"Fffun." 　The spelling seemed to help Zero. It gave him something to concentrate on besides his pain and weakness. 　It distracted Stanley as well. The next time he looked up at Big Thumb, it really did seem closer. 　They quit spelling words when it hurt too much to talk. Stanley's throat was dry. He was weak and exhausted, yet as bad as he felt, he knew that Zero felt ten times worse. As long as Zero could keep going, he could keep going, too. 　上のHe was weak and exhausted, yet as bad as he felt, he knew that Zero felt ten times worse. を英文和訳してください．

He cheered Orix,yearning for players. While that team has already been dissolved,he can still recall them clearly. Particularly Ichiro Suzuki,who was his favorite player. He met with an impressive incident. One day he went to watch Orix's game with his parents and their friends. It happened in their being about to come back after the game was over.

The Seal Who Became FamousのMoralの解説

The Seal Who Became Famous A SEAL who lay basking on large, smooth rock said to himself: all I ever do is swim. None of the other seals can swim any better than I can, he reflected, but, on the other hand, they can all swim just as well. The more he pondered the monotony and uniformity of his life, the more deoressed he became. That night he swam away and joined a circus. Within two years the seal had become a great balancer. He could balance lamps, billiard cues, medicine balls, hassocks, taborets, dollar cigars, and anything else you gave him. When he read in a book a reference to the Great Seal of the United States, he thought it meant him. In the winter of his third year as a performer he went back to the large, smooth rock to visit his friends and family. He gave them the Big Town stuff right away: the latest slang, liquor in a golden flask, zippers, a gardenis in his lapel. He blanced for them everything there was on the rock to balance, which was not much. When he had run through his repertory, he asked the other seals if they could do what he had done and they all said no. "O.K.," he said. " Let is see you do something I can not do." Since the only thing they could do was swim, they all plunged off the rock into the sea. The circus seal plunged right after them, pair of seventeen-dollar shoes, that he began to founder at once. Since he hadn't been in swimming for three years, he had forgot what to do with his fippers and tail, and he went down for the third time before the other seals could reach him. They gave him a simple but dignified funeral. Moral:Whom God has equpped with fippers should not mon-key arround with zippers.
