Questionnaire #7 Tone

1. What is the author's attitude towards actions or events?

His attitude would be along the lines of pity towards the prisoners but then he would stress on how they were all very close. He would also stress on how scary the warder could be.

2. Is the story humorous or tragic or frightening? Does the author want you to laugh or cry, to feel happy or sad, to experience anger or fear?

All of the above.

3. What is the author's attitude toward characters of the narrator? Does the author like or dislike, trust or mistrust the characters or the narrator?

..The author would place the narrator as the storyteller so his attitude would be unchanged, and the author most likely likes and trusts both the characters and the narrator.

Questionnaire#6 Symbolism

1. What are some of the symbols in the story? 

The symbols wouldn't technically be physical objects but experiences, such as the pain Brille went through and the concern his comrades had for him, that would symbolize friendship.

When Brille, his comrades, and the warder finally got along, it would symbolize forgiveness.

2. Are there any objects which seem to have a symbolic meaning? What are their meanings?

I believe there were no symbolic objects, well that is of course if you exclude tobacco and cabbage, because they would symbolize rebellion of Span One, since they would hide cabbages for themselves to eat and smoke Tobacco to show their rebellious pride.

3. Do any people act as symbols in the story? What do they represent?

Brille would represent Strength, Courage, and Care
The warder would represent Hatred, Anger, and Injustice
The comrades would represent Friends, Home, and Family.

4. Do aspects of the story's setting seem symbolic?

No.

5. Is one symbol used throughout the story or do the symbols change?

I wouldn't say the symbols changed, rather they were further explained and stressed on.
