What A Wonderful World





In Chapter 12 , page ______  Granda says: ‘Now…nobody cares about anybody but themselves.
It’s a horrible world, Rory.’

On the contrary, in Chapter 28 , page ________,  he says: ‘People are kind, Rory. I thought the
whole world was going to the dogs, and then you meet kindness like this.
It’s a wonderful world, Rory.’

Describe the kindness that he had experienced that changed his mind about the world. Ps : To answer this question, you can describe about what all the characters did to help Rory and his Granda and why they helped both of them.


Character / What They Do To Help / Why They Help
Darren
Ruby and
Sammy
Annie and Rab
Norma and
Nicola
Dr Nichol
Val Jessup

In pairs,  explore Granda’s changing attitude to the travellers and how this is shown.
They also investigate the writer’s viewpoint.

Raise these further questions with the class a whole:
- What do Ruby and Tyrone say about how social workers treat travellers?
- How does Catherine MacPhail show that this treatment is wrong?
