Why does Isla conspire with him to hide the truth? What line do you think best articulates her defence of him? Can you align a technique with this example?
Isla conspires to help him because she doesn't want the mum "fed up" and leaving them. The line that best articulates her defence of him was "I couldn't argue with him. I got hungry too" short sentences make it more dramatic

4. What does she do to help him?
Isla "shoved the box under a pile of sheets and pillowcases at the bottom of the wardrobe"

The brother takes the money their mum has been collecting and spends most of it on 23 hot dogs. He tells Isla about it and Isla helps hide the box while teaching the boy how to make 2 minute noodles. So the brother won't need to go get hot dogs anymore.]]> 2018-03-14 22:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242133035 https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242133112 Isla- seen as a caring sister as she forgives the brother for taking the money and teaches him how to make 2 minute noodles

Isla's brother- Seen as innocent as he says "I didn't mean to do it", seems sorry about what he did and we forgive him.]]> 2018-03-14 22:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242133112 https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242133140 Repetition of "The house" followed by negative connotations such as quiet and dark. Gives the sense that something is not right, foreshadowing of the money being stolen.

Juxtaposition
"The hot dogs became a memory, a story we shared, but chose to forget" Juxtaposition of Memory and forget, gives the story of the hot dogs a deeper meaning as it is important that the siblings bonded closer

How does the author build a suspenseful tone at the start of this chapter?
Use of foreshadowing words such as quiet and dark makes us believe something is not right in the house.

2. Plainly, Isla's little brother has stolen and done the wrong thing. Using examples, explain how the author has managed to still build sympathy for this character?
Author builds sympathy for the brother as we see him say words such as "I didn't mean to do it", and Isla thinks "It looks like he's about to cry, or maybe he had been crying. "I nearly got hit by a car when I got off the bus". These quotes make us believe the brother knows what he did wrong and is really sorry about what he did.]]> 2018-03-14 23:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242138399 https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242138705 5. Describe the representation/s of the children's mother. What do these add to the story?
The representation of the children's mother is that she would always leave and "drive off" whenever the kids did something wrong such as "leaving a door open so the hot air leaves the room", these incorrect things the children do seem really minor and makes the mum seem as she is overreacting. ]]> 2018-03-14 23:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/pmyar1g06mth/wish/242138705
