exercise CA summary of the second part of the story.


- Kylie watched the hen sitting on ten eggs
- She takes the lid off the well
- She starts to go down the well with her photo album every day
- She watches Philip and her mother and wonder why her father is not with them
- Philip discovers her in the well and hits her
- Kylie throws the chicks down the well
- Kylie hits the hen and throws it down the well
- She chooses one special photo which makes her feel good
- Kylie cuts off her head from the special photo and throws it away





           Teacher asked us 'What do you think about why Kylie chased the hen and the chicks and why she cut off her head from the special photo'.



Why did Kylie chase the hen and the chicks?

           I think she felt so unloved by her mother,She wanted the love from her mother.Her happiness was destroyed, she wanted the hen and the chicks to feel same that she felt.

Why did Kylie cut off her head from the special photo?

           I think she realizes that the photo isn't reality and she doesn't have a secret anymore.She is expressing her pain and hurt.She think it was not help her to feel better anymore because everything has gone





Exercise D : we chose one of the verbs to make some sentences about 3 people in this story

1.I feel sorry for Kylie because she feel hurt and was neglect from her mother and Philip.
2.I dislike Kylie's mother because she doesn't take care her daughter.
3.I dislike Philip because he hits and abuses Kylie.

           Then,we did exercise E : What do you feel about the story? and choose the three which you think are most important of the themes in this short story.
           I feel very sorry to Kylie more than everyone because she was neglect by her mother. She felt lonely and has problem associated with contemporary family life.

The three themes that I chose are
- Neglect
- Loneliness
- Problems associated with contemporary family life.



Discussing the story's symbol
1.The eggs- Kylie's secret, hope and power

2.The well- The special place of Kylie

3.The photos- Her memories and misses her father

4.Kylie's cutting of the photo- part of her secret has gone and she has given up




Do you feel that they suggest something about Kylie herself?


           I will tell Kylie, "Kylie,I know you want love from her mother but before you want that you have to love yourself.You are lucky more than the children who don't have parents. You should think someone have problem more than you if you think like that you will feel better.You should do some activities that you like that make you happy. I want to see your smile.Don't worry for every thing."





What are your attitudes with this the lesson?


         I can't understand all the story because some vocabularies are hard so it's made some sentence is not clear.I searched in Google to find more information and ask my friends,it's made me can answer the question that ask about my opinion.I think this story tell me about problems associated with contemporary family life and neglect.This story tell me know about what should we solve this problem?, How can we help Kylie?, Why is Kylie behaving like this?This is the problems of society that we have to solve.
