Resource summary
Anil Structure
FAIRYTALE OPENING :
For now, he found the star fascinating because he believed in….bigger than him.
Stars symbolise dreams and aspiration as if his wife is enlightened by some magical power.
He believes that the world is much better that it is as he ‘believes in magical wonders.’
This is done to shape the story’s bildungs roman structure.
To take readers right from start where he is innocent as childhood.
To the end where he then discovers ‘sins’ and corruption of the world due to coming of the age.
Display Anil’s innocence and vulnerability as a child.
Stars create images of his dreams.
Sense that he has dream like vulnerability, as easily can be destroyed as a dream.
Same time fairy tale image shows innocence.
How this innocence and truthfulness will make him ‘exposed’ and vulnerable to threat of headman who could harm him in any way to hide the truth.
Childhood imagination of rising high and grabing.
As a child he feels it is simple to do that, can’t see any probs.
Symbolically feel dreams are easier to fulfil as he is unaware of corruption.
ABSENCE OF SCENE
Scene between father and headman not shown.
Create an anticipation in reader to know what would have happened.
Keep them there engaged with the story.
Keep them all thinking even when decision is made about Anil.
Perhaps don’t want to limit reader’s image.
They could have variety of ways of interpreting character of dad.
This would be based on how dad and son reacted to this and came about after.
Question readers.
FORESHADOWING
No would ever see the kid again….ate little children.
Perhaps painted direct towards Anil as kid.
No one would see him again as taken away.
Dark underpinning of human psychology has taken Amma’s son from her.
Significant that only the children are targeted.
Could mean ate childhood and devour innocence.
Hints that corruption and evil in story will force Anil out of his childhood.
I will never forget this town and the sin it buries today.
His awareness that there are sins and also secrets that are buried.
And his thoughts that he needs to stick to simple truth and reveal them out to the villagers.
Positive hope that may be his education will allow him to bring justice.
Foreshadows the future that is not even shown in the story.
IRONY AT THE END
Give true picture of how corruption is get away in society.
Anil knows the truth and benefiting him.
He is escaping this village but someone has died for this to happen really.
Anil is escaping the villagers but so are the crime murderes as they will never pay for crimes.
Tis creates an anticipation as to what will happen next and whether tis will continue.
Anil says he will never forget the sins it buries today.
Hopes that perhaps education will allow hin to bring justice.
Ray of hope that whatever happened was optimistic and better promising future.
