Analysis (II) Say what you think the author is trying to do or say. What is the author's main message or purpose? Say how well you think the author succeeds in what he or she is attempting and give reasons for your answer. In my Opinion, the author is trying to tell a story, which turns out to be a very surprised one. He starts the story with a happy mood and try to show that everything is fine. Afterwards the author tries to increase the tension with every page. And it worked. The author is trying to show us, how things in life can change in one moment. He tries to convince the reader that good doings are very important to "save" your fellows. By doing just bad things ( what the characters done in the story ) you destroy other lifes and at the end you also feel guilty. That shouldn't be so. With the Inspector i think he tries to refer to the guiltily. He also wants to show that several events of several people can be related to a bad thing. (140) Analysis (II...

Prediction At any point in the stroy take a guess as to how the stroy ( plot ) will go on or finally conclude. What is going to happen? I think it would be possible that every family member could be the trigger for eva's death. This Part at Page 23 gave me the hint :  Inspector : " Because what happened to her then may have determined what happened to her afterwards, and what happened to her afterwards may have driven her to suicide. A chain of events". What i think is, that the event with Arthur and Eva was just the beginning of the story. It is also possible that the whole family were the trigger, because Inspector Goole also wants to talk to the other members. It could be possible that it will end with a confession from someone in the family because he or she felt guilty. Also it is possible that someone from the family coulb be arrested.

Reflection At any point, write about how you feel while reading a section of the book. Say how what is happening makes you feel and why? While i was reading the first 15 pages of the book, i have felt a happy mood in the story so the mood overcomed me too. The Family Birling wanted to celebrate the engament of Sheila and Gerald, so the mood was a very happy one. Afterwards it changed drastically into a mood with much tension. The appereance of the Inspector made me very excited. The begining of the Book was not very interesting, it was literally boring. (93) Empathy: Say which character you personally most identify with in the text. Say why you identify with this character   In this chapter, i most identify myself with Arthur Birling. He welcomed the inspetcor like i would do and he acted cooperatively. Say in what ways you wish a character would change/develop or what you would like to happen in the life of some character I would like to see Mr.Birling lose his weal...
