What I had done in class when Mrs Damon was away


English
Chapter 1:

Q1. He felt guilty in some way as though it was his fault that someone had died. He felt like he was in a dark room full of shadows and sorrows.

Q2. He was thinking of it as if one fragile silkworm thread would lead him forward. He was trying to figure out the memory's that had come across him.

Q3.

Q4. The simile that was used was 'perched high on its black timber stumps like some long- legged creature waiting in the shadows.

Chapter 2:

Q1. The attitudes that come across when Tom Leyton is brung up is mysterious, scared, dark and dangerous. They talk about the gossip about him in a different way then other gossip. He has sent off vibes to bring these signs of emotions and attitudes from how he sits inside and hides.

Q2. He was very surprised and scared. He was thinking of all the rumors that Mrs Mossip had mention to him. He felt guilty no taking it right away, and when he decided he wouldn't take it he would remember Caroline over the sink. This made him feel self conscious every time he would think about the topic. He didn't really want to draw him, but he then started having self doubts with his decision.

Q3. Some references that had come up in the chapter are when Caroline had mentioned about his work. Joseph's reaction to this is that she corrects her and nods and avoids direct eye contact to Caroline. He also wipes some droplets away from his eyes as he misses him so much. Another references that was made when Joseph was thinking about Caroline's suggestion. He started think on what his dad would think about the desicion that Joseph had to make.

Chapter 3:

Q1. I think is dream came back because, one he saw him again and also because of the suggestion that Caroline had mentioned earlier to him. Another might because of the thought and fear of Tom Layton brought up the same emotion and / or reaction that the dream had gave Joseph.

Q2. Joseph decides to draw Tom Layton as he is influenced by mrs Mossip 'attacking' (verbally) his mum in ways he doesn't want to hear. Also because he thought when he heard that they think he is weak and so he wanted to prove to is mother and mrs Mossip that he is not.      

Chapter 4:

Q1. Joseph thinks of mrs Mossip as a bird because she sticks her nose into everything, like foraging for juicy gossip. Joseph's image of a bird changed as soon as she started preying on his mothers words about the Layton's.

Q2. He felt like he had to prove that he was tough enough to take the offer by Caroline as his mother and mrs Mossop think he is to weak to take a challenge. He also wanted to prove that everyone can change in a matter of time and that he was going to take the risk of going, even if he didn't want to go.

Q3. The feeling and memories that aroused in Joseph were the ones that had gone in past in a speed of light when he was agreeing to Caroline's offer to mrs Mossop and his mum. He had to go over in what had just happened to him as he tries to remember why he did what he did.

Q4. The effect that was caused at the end of the chapter was a dramatic and partly mysterious. As Joseph was looking over his street peeping into windows and seeing the Layton's in there house and mrs Mossip and his mum in his. As he was trying to look even further into the street, the branch he was on broke and he slid down grazing him self but luckily stopped. His heart was racing and as a drop of blood fell down onto the dead trees, he was towered in mocking silence all around.
