Must-Do Questions:
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of first-person narration?
- Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order?
- Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting.
- John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make three predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story.
- What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers.
- What set of skills do these characters have that convince their parents that they can ‘go bush’ independently. Find examples for three characters.
Answer:
- The advantage of the first-person narration is it's immediately Puts the reader inside the narrators head which allows to portraits of thought and emotions and it also has a disadvantage as you are writing entirely from one person's point of view, first-person can be very limiting.
- So we won't get lost through the story.
- I found the word 'Concentric' interesting and it means of or denoting circles, arcs, orother shapes which share the same centre, the larger often completely surrounding the smaller.
- I think it would be interesting what will happen next, for instance, they call the place hell.
