Choose your favourite extract from the book. Answer the following three questions in writing. Write down as many ideas as you can.
If you like to time yourself, you could give yourself 15 or 20 minutes for each question.
1. For the extract you have chosen, what can you discover about the characters?
What language does the author use to show you the character, hint at their life, choices, habits, or personality? If you have chosen an extract in which there are two or more characters, you could write about how you understand the relationship between them.
2. In the extract, do you have a strong feeling of place?
Find the words and phrases used by the writer to tell you about this place; the setting of the events. Is there a mood or an atmosphere connected here? How does the writer create or convey this?
3.What is happening in the plot at this point?
How does the writer convey themes of tension, or danger, maybe violence, or the supernatural?
