The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz
The novel ?The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz? is about a poor Jewish boy named
Duddy growing up in the ghetto streets of Montreal on St. Urbain street. Duddy didn?t
have a lot going for him, he had a brother named Lennie going to University leaving him behind and a father named Max telling stories about the Boy Wonder someone who Max
believed in but didn?t believe in Duddy. Duddy only had one person to look up to and
that was his grandfather Zeyda, who believed in Duddy and Duddy told him his hopes
and dreams. Out of all Duddy and Zeyda talked about there was always one thing that
Duddy remembered best of all. Zeyda told Duddy a ?man without land is nothing?. That
one sentence changed Duddy?s whole way of thinking. He became hooked on it. Building
up to reach that one goal, or better thought placed in his head by his most respected
friend. He worked hard to show everyone that he wasn?t nothing but something by getting
his own land. It corrupted him to the point that anything would be done to keep this
vision lined up and close until he reached it, breaking all moral code, leaving no honour.
