Hi,
This is not a homework task, although it is linked with the homework you have been doing. It is a list of all the exam-style questions I could think of, although the question that does come up in the exam could, of course, be completely different, so you will possibly need to think on your feet. It is the same as the list you have printed out and included in your homework folder.
For the first one, I have written down some of the points I would include if I was answering that question. For the rest, it's up to you!
1.
How is the character of Judy presented in the novel?
|
·
She is sympathetic to a certain extent
as she does seem to feel genuine guilt about leaving Ed and Christopher.
·
When Christopher shows up on her
doorstep she does welcome him in, even though Roger is not happy about it, so
this seems to indicate that she is willing to sacrifice her relationship with
him.
·
She is not great at handling
responsibility – she effectively gives up on being a mother to Christopher
and a husband to Ed.
·
She cheats on Ed, so she must be quite
deceitful and must therefore be comfortable with lying.
·
There are some hints that her relationship
with Roger might be on the rocks – she could be using Christopher to bring
the relationship to an end. This suggests that she might be quite manipulative.
