In the prologue Marinka describes her house. What words does she use? How is it different to a normal house? Do you think she enjoys living there why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
The author uses lots of wonderful adjectives to set the scene like lonely, bleak and icy. Can you find any more? Listen to the recording and try to write some down in the comments below. What do they mean? Can you use these adjectives in your own sentences?

# data[].attributes.body
If you’re finding difficult to hear the adjectives in the recording use these pictures on the first and last page of the prologue to help you.
If you you think having a copy of the book will help you with this topic, there is a link to where you can buy it on Amazon under the second post on this timeline.

In Chapter 2 we meet a new character. Who is this new character? Write 3 things we find out about him in this chapter.

For example: He lives in __________.

Also in this Chapter we find out more about Marinka's parents. What new things do we know?

Post your answers in the comments below.

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 2 the author uses some great ‘show not tell’ descriptions to make us understand how the characters are feeling. For example – I bit my lip – shows that Marinka is feeling nervous or worried.

Match the verbs with the GIFs in the gap in the next tab. Then complete the table saying how you would feel when you do these things and give an example of a situation when someone would do this.
