What does the song represent? charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241648744 The song sounds like "the the sea and the wind and the open sky all there inside the song".

Did he mean to break Isla’s spoon? Justify your response with evidence. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241649146 I think he accidentally broke it, as he got carried away. "It was good. Sometimes i ... it was a mistake. This makes me think that the spoon was Mr Forrest getting carried away in the moment, Mr Forest perhaps has some anger management issues and perhaps this was not the first time he has done something like this due to the word "sometimes i..." sometimes Mr Forrest gets carried away? Ultimately i think Mr Forrest got carried away in the moment and accidentally broke the spoon.]]> 2018-03-13 22:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241649146 4. Consider how Parrett begins this chapter with a particular tone and completes it very differently. Quote to prove the shift in tone. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241649198  The tone at the start of the chapter is a happy tone, this is due to Isla talking about how much she enjoys woodwork and why it is her favorite subject. But this tone changes from happy to a more aggressive sad tone. This is due to the language in which Mr Forrest uses "measure twice, cut once" this short sharp language conveys the intensity in which Mr Forrest is saying the lines. The tone changes again taking a more sad approach when Mr Forrest does the "bend test" on her spoon. The test results in the snapping of the spoon, Isla could tell that Mr Forrest put extra strength into her test which, she believed that the spoon would of been useful on the "Nella Dan". ]]> 2018-03-13 22:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241649198 1. Consider how the author has used colour in this chapter and the impact that it has. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/n3jvtm4zm9yj/wish/241649250 Repetition of “grey”, “black and white”, “brown” is depressing.
