1. Literary techniques: simile interpretation (danger, tone), semi-colon function and contrast effect, connotation of “erupted”, verb repetition for emphasis 2. Character analysis: Marquis’s unfriendly speech (quoted evidence), movement contrast (Marquis vs Richard), language choice (gradual weakening, intimidation) 3. Setting and atmosphere: repetition of “tiny” for perspective and insignificance, fear vs cruelty analysis using quotation support, Richard’s physical struggle to keep up 4. Comprehension and inference: reasons for Richard’s eye-rubbing (astonishment), sequence of unusual events (e.g. easy tunnel access), table completion for surprise justification 5. Creative writing: narrative about two contrasting characters meeting unexpectedly, including setting, motivations, interaction, conflict or resolution 6. Writing focus: imaginative storytelling, clear structural planning, varied sentence structures, grammar and spelling accuracy, character development through action and dialogue
