Please study page 35 in the book for the analysis questions...


How to do the Analysis Questions

a.) Answer the question in 1-2 sentences

b.) Give an example 1-2 sentences

c.) Explain and defend your answer 1-3 sentences


Examples:

page 35 Question #1b

Why do you think the author chose this setting for the story?

Answer:


a) The author chose the setting because there is no place for the narrator to escape to, and he cannot avoid meeting Mr Kelada who the narrator does not like.

b) For example, the narrator has to deal with Mr. Kelada by sharing the same cabin and the same dining room.  In addition, the antagonist, (Mr. Kelada) follows the narrator all over the ship.

c) In this way/ To sum up, the fact that the narrator cannot escape a man who he dislikes, adds to the conflict and the dram of the story.  


HOTS:
Higher Order Thinking Skills

Inferring - to make an educated guess (reading between the lines)

Uncovering motives - what is the true motivation for an action.
or why is he or she really doing this?
