Answer question 4
• Focus on the order of events.
• Think:
• What happens at the beginning?
• What happens at the end?
• How does the way things progress make scene the more tense?
• WHAT IS THE QUESTION ASKING?
In the Essex Serpent, how does the writer use
structure to move from a lively atmosphere to a
more menacing one?
At the beginning of the extract, Parry
sets up an atmosphere of drunkenness
and celebration. There is a sense that
the young man is drunk from the
dialogue, “‘I’ll just go down to the
water,’ he said, and kissed the nearest
cheek.” The casual way he announces
that is going for a walk before kissing a
stranger gives us a sense of the party
atmosphere, but also warns us that he
might not be in a fit state to walk out
alone.
