Slide 4 - Open vraag

- Place: The chapel is the place where Ginnie visits to see Father Olive who turns out to be the father of her baby at the end of the story.
- Place: The empty and lonely road at the beginning of the short story is important for the plot because this is where Ravi meets Ginnie and decides to take her to a secluded place to rape her.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Question 2 (2 points)
George seemed to have grown as bored with the conversation as I had. He’d been lying on the grass with the bone propped between his forepaws, gnawing on it. Now he stood up, took a firmer grip with his teeth, shook himself, and trotted off toward the back fence.
How is George important in this story?

Slide 6 - Open vraag

Where the wild roses grow?
"For her lips were the color of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild”

Is this an example of a flashback, flashforward or foreshadowing? Explain your answer

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Foreshadowing. The use of 'bloody' hints at the fact that blood will be shed - and at the end we know that he has murdered her. 

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Question 4 (2 points)
What is the point of view in the short story 'the Sniper'? Explain your answer.

Slide 9 - Open vraag

The point of view is Third person limited omniscient. This is because we only know the sniper's thoughts and emotions; we don't learn anything about the other characters' thoughts/emotions. 


Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Question 5 (4 points)
Choose one of the following themes and explain why it could be seen as a theme of the novel THUG. Use two (2) examples from the novel to support your answer:
