Week 7  - Lesson 1

The Dogs

Today's class

Goals of today's class:

• I know more about the main character.
• I can interpret how Cameron develops throughout the book.
• I can use the words from chapter 23 & 24 in a sentence.

Comparing books

In The dogs, Cameron goes to his English class where they read the book To kill a mockingbird.

The main character of that book is Scout Finch. In a summary of the book this is said about Scout:

Comparing books

At the beginning of the novel, Scout is an innocent, good-hearted five-year-old child who has no experience with the evils of the world. As the novel progresses, Scout has her first contact with evil in the form of racial prejudice. A black man is wrongly accused of rape and is sent to prison for it. The question throughout the book is if Scout will keep her optimism and belief in humanity or whether she will be bruised and hurt by bad experiences, and will lose her faith in humanity. She is a girl who grows up in a loving environment. Thanks to her father Atticus’s wisdom she learns that humanity has both evil and good sides. And so you always have to be open-minded. Scout develops into an optimistic human being, who, whatever evil she encounters, stays strong without becoming cynical. Though she is still a child at the end of the book, Scout’s perspective on life develops from that of an innocent child into that of a near grown-up.

Can you see similarities between the way Cameron’s character develops in The dogs and Scout’s development in To kill a mockingbird?

Do you also see any differences?

How would you describe Cameron's character/personality?

How would you describe Cameron's development in The Dogs?

The writer

At the end of the book, there is an interview with the writer. He talks about growing up in a similar situation to Cameron's. His father was also very violent to his mother.

Answer the questions on the next slides.

Do you think his own experience helped the writer to write the book?
Explain your answer.

Could another writer, who'd had a happy childhood, also have written such a book?

You can call "The dogs" a psychological thriller.
Try to explain why you think that is.

What is a psychological thriller?

• A subgenre of thriller that explores the psychology of its characters, who are often unstable.
• What makes a thriller psychological is that the biggest questions revolve around the minds and behavior.
• They often incorporate elements of mystery and include themes of crime, morality, mental illness, substance abuse, multiple realities or a dissolving sense of reality, and unreliable narrators.
• Psychological thrillers generally stay away from elements of science fiction, focusing on events that could take place in real life.
