Explain how the author has used character development and narrative point of view to build the story’s element of conflict, tension and suspense. (Refer to the three different characters of Andrew, his dad and Mr. Spinks and Andrew’s narrative point of view)

The author has used character development and narrative point of view to build up the story’s tension and suspense. Throughout the story, first starting with a slurp of the soup, Andrew gradually makes the tense atmosphere by trying to make his dad break his promise by having bad table manners in front of his dad’s boss at dinner.

To be continued....

1) First person – Andrew.
He uses first person language such as me, I, my, us and so on.

2) Andrew likes his dad because He takes him fishing, gives him arm wrestles, play scrabble instead of watching news, tries practical jokes on Andrew and always keeps his promise.

3) Andrew’s dad can’t stand flies and his second fault is table manners.

4) Andrew’s dad hardly ever misses and nearly every time, he hits the fly.
