4. Setting – quotations:
- ‘’In the reeds along the edge of the creek, frogs churk and gulp and catch flies. The water is still and brown. By the end of summer there’ll probably be no water at all and there’ll be roos and rabbits sniffing out pools all along here at dusk. Tadpoles scribble away across the surface. Birds tap-toe here and there like old ladies. There’s tigersnakes about, but you just don’t think about that.’’ (Chapter 3 – p. 22)
- ‘’There is something over the house. Like a cloud. Like a cloud. It glows, just sitting over the roof. Hell! It’s bright as the moon.’’ (Chapter 5 – p. 49)
