Teenage Dreamers by Phillip Tang

1. What are the first two sentences of the story and how do they create a tension in the story? 'My father had a sixth sense. He knew when people were going to die.' it creates tension in the story as you know that some one will die and you want to know who this is going to happen to, and when it is going to happen.

2. What has happened to the author’s father as a result of his wife’s death? The author's father looked for something to care about.

3. How does the description of the father removing his hands from his face as ‘unmasked’ related to the seriousness of his following statement? By removing his hands from his face he is showing and letting out all his emotion which he does not show often.

4. Consider how the father lives his life and conducts himself and the other people in the theatre for the film the author and his father are watching. How does this relate to the title of the story?
