Greetings boys.
While I am at the athletics, you've got plenty to go on with. I'm expecting PARAGRAPH responses, so that we can build on these to craft our first essay.
Character
1. The Scarecrow is seen as a mysterious entertainer, a sexual threat, an absurd failure and an evil monster. Find quotes to back up each of these descriptions.
Setting
2. How does the author make credible that such events could happen in this kind of town?
3. Some have argued that Klynham can itself be seen as a character. Explain what you think is meant by this. In what ways can Klynham be seen to function as a character within the text?
Plot
4. Where do the trivial and diabolical plot lines come together?
5. How is suspense used effectively?
6. How are events finally resolved? Do you find the ending satisfactory?
7. How does RHM turn the funeral procession into a comic event?
8. The text has been described as a 'gothic melodrama.' Use the internet to find out what this term means then write a paragraph explaining whether or not you agree with this description.
