  11. Foreshadowing • “Sombre gray eyes glinted in Teddy’s pale, triangular face.” (130) • “Yes, they were paper dolls. There was no King Theodore, no Emperor Kang, no Theodoresburg, no Upalia, no Danova. There was only an attic full of preposterous cardboard buildings and ridiculous paper people.”(133)

  16. Inciting Incident/Inciting Force • “He sighed. This was his aunt, shouting from the foot of the stairs. ‘Teddy!’ • He opened the door. ‘Yeah?’ he called sulkily. • ‘Come down here this minute and get ready for supper! How many times do I have to call you?’”(131)

  17. Rising Action/Complication • “His aunt glared at him. ‘Don’t say “huh” when you answer me. Look what you’ve done! You’ve spilled cream all over yourself.’” (131)

  18. Crises • “His uncle gave him a disdainful look. ‘He just about lives up there, doesn’t he?’ • ‘Yes. I think it’s about time that one of us went up there and found out what he’s been doing.’” (132)

  19. Major Crises • “’They looked pretty much like paper dolls to me. Paper dolls and doll houses. An eleven-year-old boy!’ The man choked, trying to restrain his laughter. ‘The next thing we know, you’ll be wanting us to put skirts on you!’” (133)

  23. Protagonist Character traits of Teddy Creative: Quote: “Their two dimensional bodies scissored from paper, their faces and clothing drawn in crayon and lead pencil.” Page 130 Imaginative: Quote: “‘He’s got his head in the clouds again.” His uncle laughed. His round, florid face reflected on his resemblance to Zikla, Duke of Anders.” Page 132. Quote: “‘They look pretty much like dolls to me. Paper dolls and doll houses. An eleven-year-old boy!’” Page 133. Misunderstood: Alone: Quote: “’He spent most of the afternoon in the attic.’ ‘He just about lives up there, doesn’t he?’” Page 132.

  24.

Teddy’s Uncle: •Laughs at Teddy’s enjoyment of the “city he’s created.” •Always seems to push Teddy around. •Insists that Teddy should be wearing skirts.

  25. Echo in the Story

  26. Loss of Innocence.

  27. This links to the story because • Teddy is told what he should be doing, instead of what he wishes to do. • Is told that “paper dolls” and “doll houses” aren’t for him. • His aunt and uncle cause him to totally destroy his city. • This also means that he doesn’t believe that he can always dream for himself, nor could he be a dreamer.
