Floodland review- Aran

Floodland review

Q1) Describe the key themes used in the story.

Marcus Sedgwick uses themes to tell the reader a important message. Bulling is one of the themes and by using the theme he is telling the reader to never bully. The bullying theme is really important for a child to learn this. Another one of the themes are survival, I think this is a very good theme to use because it can help kids in life. The 3rd theme is trust, the message for this theme is to never trust anybody you don't  know. This is an awesome theme as it is a very important message for children that they should not trust or run away with strangers.

James's Floodland Review

James's Flood land Review

What message about good and evil or right and wrong does the author give; How does the author deal with the theme of bullying?

In the story Flood land,the author Marcus Sedgwick gets the message of bullying through by using physical violence and emotional bullying . He uses William  to try to to be the person to show right against wrong and doesn't succeed. It says ' " William! No! ". She lost sight of him for a moment and then she saw him lying on the ground. She went cold '.

Do you agree or disagree with the way fighting and violence are promoted in the text? Explain your views.

Fighting makes the story a story of adventure and action. A story isn't a good story without action, especially Flood land as it is a fairly scary story and fighting makes it that little bit scary. The story would be boring without war and violence as everyone would be kind to each other and thats not the point of the story.

Floodland Reviews

 

 

Explain the impact of the flood on three characters. How does the disaster cause  the characters to show certain attitudes, morals and actions?

 

 

The flood affected many people and have changed throughout the story. Such as: Dooby, He is now violent and cruel. But before that he used to have parents and he also used to be happy; Natasha, she used to work and be grateful for what she had but that all changed after the flood, she is now desperate nearly even greedy for food, shelter and safety but most of all to get of the island of Norwich; Zoe, before the flood she had parents and used be clever and be thankful for being alive. But now being influenced by people and a crazy and scary place she is selfish and has no sympathy.

 

 

How does the author deal with the theme of bullying?

 

 

In the story, bullying is quite severe as it is physical and includes beating and other physical contact. Dooby plans to bully Zoe by using her from the moment she stepped onto the beastly land. He wants Zoe to get him out of trouble and off the island. "Look Zoe I'm not taking it from you. Like I said,  I want your help. And I want that boat to get us, me and you, out of here. " This is a piece of text where Dooby bully's Zoe by hinting a little bit of his plan, not even telling her when why and how not forgetting the rest of the plan. Spat bully's Zoe to make her look weak in the eyes of Dooby so that Dooby thinks more of Spat instead of Zoe.

Maharshi Floodland report

                                       Maharshi's Floodland Report

What message about good and evil right and wrong does the author give ?

In the book Floodland the Author Marcus Sedgwick shows the theme of bullying as horrible and nasty. It shows in the book that bullying is not good and they show that by physical violence and threatening.

Describe the key themes used in the story?

In the book survival is key and danger is inevitable without skill.To live you have to lie and to lie you should not be scared. The text shows that Zoe has to lie over and over again.It shows it's hard to live if you don't lie.
