chapter 6 summary

One of the most important parts in chapter six, I believe, is when the twins whose duty was to ensure that the fire did not die in the night both failed there task. When they awake in the morning they react to the ash pile almost as if it was the end of their time on earth and now they were to be executed.  Perhaps as though they had just been told that God is unreal and have no real answer for what it is that they should do next – almost like headless chickens, their whole ritual in a way has been disrupted.

  1. I’m really pleased that your summary focuses on an event that nobody else has yet; your justification for this also explores character well.

    You should now develop this by using a supporting quotation and then exploring how figurative/language devices have been used to develop the meanings that you have intepreted.
