Chapter+Analysis

Each group has been provided with Chapters to analyse. Use the following format: **Summary of each chpt.** This should be kept to a minimum and you can use dot points to make it easier. **Quotations:** Choose a selection. There must be at least two from each chapter. Write an explanation of the quote and the effect on the reader. How does Siobhan Dowd want us to respond to her prose? **Reader Positioning:** How are we positioned to think, respond, or feel about events described, characters responses etc? (Very important for Assessment) **Structure of the prose:** How is the novel presented to us? Mixture of speakers/dreams etc. Also consider what part of the novel you are analysing and comment on that. ** Exposition ** ** Rising Action ** ** Crises ** ** Climax ** ** Resolution ** **Plot/subplots.** Siobhan Dowd cleverly interweaves a number of plot lines. How is this relevant in your chapter analysis? Hunger Strikes  IRA 'The cause' and it effects on people. Fergus's Journey  Bog Child inquest   Rafters dominance of Fergus   Uncle Tally's connections? Mel's Story  Relationships: Owain & Fergus, Fergus & Cora, Mum & Dad, Jow &   Fergus **(you may also consider others)**
