This day, I had a discourse approach in reading class. I learned about The Narrative, the title is "Secret" by Tim Winton after that teacher assigned me for complete this summary of the story by adding three fairly short sentences. Discuss your ideas first with another student.
This summary of the story
Kylie felt left out from her mother and Philip's activities. She became interested in the chickens in the yard. Somehow her secret helps her to feel less lonely. She finds a second egg and then found out where others were being laid by an unhealthy-looking hen, she watches the hen sitting on the eggs and sharing the secret with the hen. Once day she took the lid off the well and started to go down the well with her photo album everyday after that. She looked at Philip and her mother and wonders why her father isn't with her she missed her father. Philip discovers her in the well, he caught her down the well on a Sunday afternoon. One moment she was alone,the next , the well was full. Philip came down and dragged her out. He hit her. That evening the chicks hatched Kylie throws the chicks down the well after that hit the hen and throws it down the well too. Before bed, Kylie chooses one special photo which made her feel good and cut off her head from the special photo and throwns it away.
Feeling about the three people in this story
I feel sorry for kylie because she felt left out from her mother and Philip.
I dislike for Kylie's mother because she did lot of thing with her husband but she didn't care her daughter.
I disapprove of for Philip because he hits kylie which, is mistake.
I think the most important are ...
Neglect: Kylie's mother don't care her and made her felt left out from family because Kylie's mother had a new husband and she wonders why father isn't with her.
Loneliness: Kylie felt left out from her mother and Philip because they did lot of thing together without kylie. She like to go down the well only one with her photo album every day.
Problems associated with contemporary family life: I think family is the most important for child if her parent take care her and did lot of thing together. The child don't have a problem in family which, don't felt left out too.
The story's symbols
- The eggs be compared as the child was protect.
- The well be compared as lonesomeness and sadness.
- The photos be compared as the memory in the past. - kylie's cutting of the photo be compared as feeling left out from her mother.
