Who do the children ring and where does that person live? The children ring their father who resides in Victoria. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533588 2018-03-08 08:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533588 2. What is the children’s attitude to these phone calls? Their attitude is emotionally mixed (ambivalent), as they do and do not necessarily enjoy the experience, “I was scared and maybe he [little brother, Peter] was too” is contrasted with “Time would go fast.” However, overall most of the description in the passage suggests that perhaps they found the phone call a draining experience. charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533660 2018-03-08 08:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533660 3. The final paragraph of the chapter ends with “Dad was gone” which literally indicates that the phone call is finished; however, what is Parrett metaphorically implying about the relationship? The quotation may imply that something “big” or problematic has happened in the past, causing the family to separate and there is now virtually very little scope for reconciliation, “He was far away and we lived on an island now.” charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533748 2018-03-08 08:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/rnl46l09a29f/wish/239533748
