Questions for your red book
Remember! For these questions, don’t worry too much about getting the answer right, just make sure you’ve explained your thinking by giving evidence from the text. In this case, the text is a film. 🙂
- What do you notice about the houses and the people?
- The Lost Thing is taken to a government department. Why do you think Shaun Tan hasn’t given the government building any windows?
- Where would you rather live and why? With the lost thing or the main character, and why?
- Is this a sad ending or a happy ending? Be sure to explain why you think so.
Now see what Shaun Tan has to say about the book; how it began and what it became.
