IMAGE:What
does
red suggest?
What
is
the
effect
of
the
blurred image
of
the
car?
What
does
the
button
in Arabic
say about
the
story/ chatacters/ setting?
How do all
these
elements contribute
to
the
creation
of
a
mysterious
atmosphere?
SOUND:What
does
the
eerie
music imply?
Where
does
the
story
take
place? What
does
the
sound
of
birds
say
about
this?How is
‘silence’
represented
in the
story?
TEXT:Who
is
‘he’? Does
this
ambiguity
build
up expectation?Why
does
the
narrator
feel
surprised
when
‘he’
speaks
‘perfect
English’?Is
there
any
repetition
of
words? Any
parallel
structures? (‘waited
for people’, waited
for
sirens’)
What
is
the
effect
of
alliteration/ consonance/ similes?Are there
any
sensory
images?
