Literature Form 4 and 5 Question


Literature Form 4 and 5 Question

Gulp And Gasp
Based on the drama, Gulp and Gasp by John Townsend, what is the character you like the most? Why? Use textual evidence.


My answer:


Based on the drama, 'Gulp and Gasp' by John Townsend, the character that I mostly like is Rose because she is brave. She threatens Lord Septic to expose his evil deed to the Evening News eventhough she is blind and poor.


Secondly, Rose is a loving and caring person. She loves her mother who is sick and needs treatment. Therefore, she sells flowers to earn some money to buy medicine and food. Moreover, she shows her concern for Percy when she first met him. She expresses her love and admiration towards Percy when he rescues her.


Lastly, she is a hardworking person. She does not allow her dissability to stop her from selling flowers eventhough it was in the cold foggy night. Not only she sells flowers to buy medicine for her mother but she also works to get money for her eye operation.

The Fruitcake Special
Based on the short story, 'The Fruitcake Special' by Frank Brennan, choose an event that you find interesting. What lessons do you learn from the event? Use textual evidence to support your answer.
My answer:


The event that I find interesting in the short story “The Fruitcake Special” by Frank Brennon is when David Amos expresses his love for Anna in front of Sabina at a dinner table in a French Restaurant.

The first lesson that I learnt from the event is that love love should be mutual. David only loves Anna when she puts on the perfume. Sabina, David's new girlfriend is materialistic. She loves David for his wealth. Another victim of Anna's perfume is the waiter. The waiter plays a song at the table for Anna which cause a fight between him and David.

Secondly, I learnt that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. David Amos only prefers to be with pretty young models. Sabina, his girlfriend may be beautiful on the outside but she is a cruel person.
Lastly, I learnt that we shouldn't be deceived by flattery. When Anna puts on her 'fruit-cake special' perfume, David Amos becomes nice to her. David keeps on calling her 'darling'. Anna knows something is wrong with him and don't give in to his sweet talk.

These are the evidences given for the event that I choose based on the short story, Fruit Cake Special by Frank Brennan.
