1. P5 The rarest and most revered feat is to snatch a peach by the flank of the cottage like a zombies hand bursting from the grave' (quote demonstrates fear and immaturity). At the end of the book Charlie does manage to snatch up quite a few peaches- this shows he has matured
2. Peach also represents the theme of appearance VS reality because peaches can look beautiful/normal/perfect but be rotten on the inside
3. p 346 Jasper is away picking peaches saving up money for Laura- what do you think Craig Silvey is trying to say here?? It represents that Jasper is a brave character- him picking peaches is no big deal.]]> 2019-05-12 21:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/t64q4ukn3v9f/wish/359262413 kmlyo0 https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/t64q4ukn3v9f/wish/359266281 Jasper discovers the word “sorry” written in two different places: on the tree where Laura died, and on the side of a car on Mad Jack Lionel’s property. Jasper believes that this proves that Jack is responsible for Laura’s death, but in the end, he realizes that the repetition of the words is only a coincidence. Jack wrote “sorry” on the car because he blames himself for killing Rosie Jones, Jasper’s own mother. Eliza, not Jack, wrote “sorry” on the tree, because she blames herself for Laura’s death. Charlie often wonders what “sorry” accomplishes. On one hand, verbal apologies communicate sympathy and regret from the guilty party to the offended party. Yet there is something shallow and unsatisfying about apologies of this kind, he acknowledges. “Sorry” can never entirely repair the damage caused by a crime. Ultimately, the word “sorry” symbolizes the inadequacy of remorse and redemption in the novel. Characters try to forget and atone for their crimes, but their efforts are never entirely successful. What’s done is done, and no amount of apologies or tears can change this.]]> 2019-05-12 22:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlyo0/t64q4ukn3v9f/wish/359266281
