Teenage Dreamers by Phillip Tang


Teenage Dreamers by Phillip Tang

1. What are the first two sentences of the story and how do they create a tension in the story? At the beginning of the book the Author says "father has a sixth sense for death". This creates tension because "death" is low morality word so it gives the reader an idea of what the story may be about. 

2. What has happened to the author’s father as a result of his wife’s death? Because of the authors mothers death his father has started to feel very lonely and down
3. How does the description of the father removing his hands from his face as ‘unmasked’ related to the seriousness of his following statement? His father removing his hands from his face and becoming "unmasked" is related to the seriousness of the following statement because its like he is finally showing his real self and not just hiding behind a mask
4. Consider how the father lives his life and conducts himself and the other people in the theatre for the film the author and his father are watching. How does this relate to the title of the story? ?????
