POINTS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Who is in your opinion the main character of the story? Why?
2. How could you answer Sandra’s question "What was he running
away about?"
3. Dwell upon the child’s feelings while in the dingy. Why do you
think he chose a dingy for running away? Can the dingy have a
figurative (or symbolic) meaning?
4. Can you explain his motive of throwing out the goggles and the
key chain into the lake?
5. How do you assume Boo Boo will treat Sandra? (Do you remember
Mrs. Snell’s words "What I’d do, I’d look around for another – ?"
(see p. 82)) What would you choose to do? Give your reasons.
6. The main feeling of the story is that of courage. Indicate any for-
mal or figurative signs of it.
7. It is very often stated that (in accordance with the principles of
Sanskrit poetics) in Salinger’s stories the main idea or most impor-
tant message is delivered with the least number of words or hints.
What might be the main message in this story?
ADDITIONAL TASKS
1. Retell the whole story on behalf of Sandra.
2. Write the next chapter of the story, outlining the main events that
followed.
3. Turn this story into a whodunit. Prior to this, in class discuss how
you have to change the structure of the text, the plot development,
the facts mentioned first; what the opening and the final scenes of
the story will be.
• Prepare the dramatization of the dialogue between Sandra
and Mrs. Snell and Boo Boo (pp. 80-86).
