Inferences About Character

Inferences About Character

Order Description

The Assignment (Grade 12 English) is based on the short story “Black Walls” by Chinese writer Xin-Wu Liu

Assignment – Inferences About Character
Please read the requirements below carefully, and complete each section of the assignment logically. There is no designated number of words for each section, but the length should be roughly proportional to the mark to be awarded. In total, I am expecting 4 pages in length, namely about 4 x 275 = 1,100 words.
*Please answer each of the questions in paragraph form, using analysis and interpretation. Please be sure to read your assignment carefully as 5 Marks are dedicated in each assignment to grammar, sentence structure and clarity of thoughts. Always use lines from the short story to support your answers to the questions*
1) Read the first page of the short story, from there I want you to write your Inference the protagonist thus far. I am not looking for a correct inference at this point; I just want to know what your initial Inference is. (4 Marks)
2) In the short story, “Black Walls”, I want you to explain the conflict that the protagonist is facing, is it Man vs. Man? Man vs. Society? Man vs. Himself? (5 Marks)
3) Analyze the style of writing for this short story. Do you feel that the short story was simplistic or complicated in style? If so, explain why the author may have chosen to write the story in such a way and if it aided in your understanding of the theme in any way.  (6 Marks)

Creative Writing
For this portion of the assignment, I want you to draw the expressions on the neighbour’s faces following these two scenarios;
1)    Draw the expressions on the neighbour’s faces following Little Button’s question at 8:49am
?    Draw a sketch, and describe in words the possible facial expressions as detailed as possible
2)    Draw the identical characters in the next sketch but with their facial expressions changed following Button’s final question at 8:52am.
?    Draw a sketch and describe in words the possible facial expressions as detailed as possible
Then, I would like you to write a paragraph personal response of your thoughts and reactions to the observations made by Little Button. What do you infer about Button as a character? Do you agree with his statements? How would you have reacted to what Button said if you were a neighbor in this story?
