He drinks a lot and need money to buy alcohol. He drinks and smokes. He talks condescending to his wife.

Rita:
She is a student of the Open University: It is for adults with a daytime job. She is flirting with Frank. They talk, he wants her to go to another tutor, but she will not do so.

She is a hairdresser, so she is from the working class. She swears and talks a very clear and directly language. She is flirting with Frank. She is exuberant. She is straightforward and is not shy. She likes to be different and is sexual attractive. She is a rebelling and make joke about death. Rita will not take a no for an answer. She is stubborn. She is an egoist and has ambitions.

We have a man who needs to have control. He has a cold attitude which indicates him to be old fashion. We think he was brought up with discipline, which he tries to transfer to the boy. Who we think he is his son.

We have a man who needs to have control. He has a cold attitude which indicates him to be old fashion. We think he was brought up with discipline, which he tries to transfer to the boy. When he pronouns the word dead, he make it sound like an everyday thing. Just like that indicates that he doesn’t care about what lives in nature and sees the kangaroo like a pest. Don’t walk behind me indicates that he doesn’t trust the boy or that he wants the boy to learn that any man can’t be trusted and that he is carious about that the is handling a gun.  He wants to know where the boy is at all times so he has control over the situation.
In the end where the boy says Dead, we think he kills the man and feel a satisfaction about it.
The effect we get of the story is that you can’t pressure a child to do a grown mans thing.

Imagery and symbols in Just Like That. Imagery (quote 1 and 2):

1.We think the reason, the author has chosen to use religious vocabulary is because it describes a hope for the boy. “He felt that he could walk over anything that got in his way”

2.it highlights the meaning of the bad situation, because it is the complete opposite of what actually happens. The Man does not bless the kangaroos he is killing them.

3. In religion …

Group 4: Jens, Karina, Sanne, Lalitha.

What are the Kangaroos being compared to.

Quote one: Humans

Quote two: Rocks

Quote three: Adventures

Quote four: Trees

We think the author wants to raise the question, “is vermin control ok” and if we as humans have the right to take away life based on the only fact that we are the dominating species. With the comparisons he makes the reader feel sorry for the poor kangaroos, and strikes the point that we need to protect the nature. With the comparison with trees, it makes you think about the circle of life. That world is home for everyone no matter the race.

Just Like That

Short summery:

The story is about a man and a boy and they are out hunting Kangaroos. The man tells the boy that if he doesn’t shoot the Kangaroos he will never be a man.

Group 2:

Kangaroos:

1.     Page 25, line 24: ….Its forepaws were curled like small hands. It lifted its head to caress the boy with its large limpid eyes. Peaceful it looked.

2.     Page 25, line 31: … swivelled its eyes, trying to watch both the man and the boy.

3.     Page 25, line 41: …He reached a hand to the kangaroos breast. It was warm and very soft. The black eyes remained open.

4.     Page 26, line 21: … He lowered the sights onto the white patch of the Kangaroos throat.

5.     Page 26, line 32: …

The Boy:

At first he is nervous and feels sick. He gets a physical reaction of his action and has no contact with his feelings. He shuts down. He is like a machine and after he shoots the first Kangaroo, he finds out that the experience was not like he has expected. It was easier because he does not fell anything at all. In the end the boy feels empty and dead but reacts by tears. He cannot control his emotions inside.

He is a little boy, who wants to become a man. He follows the man’s instructions, by shooting the Kangaroos. He is a human being, who becomes a machine without any feelings.
