  1. Anthology B – the short storiesVERONICA Wednesday, 18 July 2012

  2. DIVISION • Read the story and be sure that you understand it clearly • Notice any repetitive strands in the narrative • Consider the form of the passage – compare it with the Faulks • Comment on the gender divisions evident in the story.

  3. City/village contrasts

  4. The stream – a recurring idea • Look at the text and list the references to the stream and water. • At each reference what might the stream connote?

  5. Narrative form • Read the passage that starts “what am I to tell you? You heard that my parents died?” and ends “It’s true”. • What type of writing is this? • In pairs, rewrite the passage in indirect speech- (“she asked what she should tell me and whether I was aware that her mother had died. I said that I hadn’t heard and she replied that...” • What is the difference in effect of the two versions? • One is much faster and more play-like. Can you interpret the various emotions in this version? Look again at your version and alter the verbs to reflect the emotions being felt and the delivery of the lines.

  6. How do you feel? • The exam question can ask you to be empathic – “how does the story make the reader feel...” • Be sure to comment on the use of language and remember that any feeling has been created by the author!
