Reading and interpreting
9 Work in pairs. Look at the
sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
1 In the
fall ofourfinal year, our mood changed.
Why does the passage begin with a time
expression?
The use of the time expression, together with the
past tense, is a signal that this is a narrative with a sequence of
events. The word our indicates that this is a story of personal
experience.
2 But
there was something else.
What is the purpose of this short
sentence?
This indicates that studying for the final exams was
not the only concern of the students. So it is a transition from
studying for final exams to the next topic
getting a job after graduation.
3 I went
home at Thanksgiving ...
Why does the writer change from we to
I?
Because this changes the focus onto the writer as an
individual. The we paragraphs are general background to the main
narrative about thc individual, which is coming.
4 'So?' he
said.
What is the effect of the
change to direct speech?
This change to direct speech opens a
moment-by-moment dialogue. This slows down the narrative of events
but gives a good impression of how the writer found it difficult to
say what he wanted to do and how the father made few
comments.
5 Crabs
fascinated me.
How does the focus change with this
sentence?
The topic shifts to crabs. The sentence also arouses
the readers' interest - we expect some fascinating new information
ab6ut crabs here. Later, we realize how the topic of crabs,is
connected with the son finding a job, and the crabs' behaviour
leads the father to give memorable advice.
6 My father started the motor
and we set off back home.
Is this an effective conclusion? Why / Why
not?
Yes, we don't know what happens next, but the
implication is fairly clear that the father would support the son's
idea of travel and of being a writer. It makes a better conclusion
not to say it explicitly, as it leaves a lot of room for personal
interpretation.
10 Work in pairs and answer the
questions.
1 What sort of relationship do
the father and son have?
The son seems afraid of being
criticized for his ideas about a career and expects resistance from
his father. However, the father actually supports what his son
wants, but he makes him
