  1. Childhood, adolescence and social classL.O: to analyse these key themes in act 2 Shelter questions:

  2. Childhood, adolescence and growing up Provide a brief summary of these themes Why are these ideas important within the play? Consider how the difference in social class does not have an impact on the boys’ friendship until later on in act 2.

  3. I’m not saying a word How does this scene create a link between the two brothers? How does it highlight the differences created by their class and education? What do we learn about Edward here? Annotate – focus on how the language used, shapes our interpretation – in particular repetition of the verb phrase ‘I’m not saying’

  4. Contrast- page 86 How does the scene where Mickey and Linda finally get together contrast with Edward’s ideas about love and romance? (Refer to page 74 if you’re stuck). What is Russell suggesting about the characters here?

  5. One day in October – Page 87 What is the significance of the weather imagery voiced by the narrator? How does this scene link to ideas about social class explored more widely in the play?

  6. Key questions How has Russell sealed the fate of the two boys by separating them at this point in the play? How does this link to the themes of childhood and nature v nurture?
