Suggestion on moment choosing for Part B Flashcards
Future related questions
- Miss Lucy Reveals BEST
Why: Lots of language/ structure techniques for you to reference
- Norfolk possibles and defferals
Why: focus on what possibles represent. Journey causes loss of hope in future for clones.
- Madame’s defferals (risky)
Why: Future has been crushed, no light at the end of the tunnel. Can talk about the lack of empathy for their future demonstrated by Miss Emily.
- Churchyard (risky)
Why: Ruth is very dismissive, links to alot of other parts. First time we see the gallery theory being taken seriously. Tommy’s “creatures” are in hope for future - only optimism
Cruelty/Unkindness towards each other
- Churchyard BEST
Why: Ruth is attacking Tommy, being very belittling and condescending while Kathy does nothing
- Intro to Tommy + Ruth, as well as tantrums
Why: Start to see Tommy’s behaviours and how this starts to mold the rest of the novel + lots of language/structure techniques to pick up on
- Ruth Pencil Case
Why: Kathy conspires to expose Ruth, undermining friendship out of jealousy
- Norfolk: Ruth’s possible (risky)
Why: Attacks Tommy in a line before completely self-destructing by insulting all the clones and what they are made from. Not too much material available.
Important discovery is made
- Miss Lucy Reveals
Why: lots of eaasy points. Discovery of limited futures for clones. Breaks their ignorance as confronted by reality
- Madame’s house BEST
Why: Huge impact - all hopes of future lost. There IS no other way
- Norfolk: Ruth’s possible
Why: Ruth completely breaks down + Start to see her true colours. Loss of hope in Norfolk and can see internal emotions of clones well
- Madame “spiders”
Why: Kathy learns wider society scrutiny for the clones. Long-term impact for all of them
Sad event
- Madame’s house BEST
Why: Soul-crushing discovery + all the dehumanization by Miss Emily
- Madame “Spiders”
Why: Painful and shocking experience. Lots of good analysis available.
- Kathy’s reflections END
Why: Very nostalgic and she is sad at the loss of her friends and Hailsham
- Boat scene (risky)
Why: Pathetic fallacy to comment on + the physical description of the boat and its comparison to Hailsham
Struggle with being different
- Miss Lucy Explains
Why: Clone’s can’t comprehend place in society. Have no access to futures and potential
- Madame spiders
Why: Shock of being treated with such repulsion. Introduced to wider society perceptions
- Madame’s house
No freedom or future. Resigned to fate because of their birth
