2. A. The story takes place in the present tense.”I did run the History Departement, for four years, during the war, but that was because everybody was away.” This quotation tells us that George was the leader of the history departement during the war because everyone was gone, the second world war took around four years so I believe that this story takes place in the present tense of the date that the book was written.
B. “The scene” “The living room of a house on the campus of a small New England college.” (page 1) As the quotation above suggests, the story takes place in the region of New England which lays in the north …show more content…
Her father is the president of the New England college. She talks a lot and she always picks on George, her husband, but she still loves him. “…there are easier things than being married to the daughter of the president of that university.” (Page 29). In this quote we can read that Martha was the daughter of the president of the univesity.

Honey:
Honey is a 26 year old woman and she is married to Nick. She is pretty and also a little immature. “Oh, wasn’t that funny? That was so funny…” (Page 26). In this quote we can clearly read that Honey is an immature woman, she was the only person laughing in an uncomfortable situation.
4. A. This book uses the omniscient point of view.
B. The effects of this perspective are pretty big. Because of this point of view, we can not see inside the heads of the characters in the story, we can only see what actually happens and not what they think.
5. A. At the begin of the story we meet George and Martha. Their life is not very good so they hide behind illusions, like their imaginary son. This makes their life way easier.
B. The initial incident is when Nick and Honey arrive. It starts good but the alcohol soon has effects on the temper of the characters. This also leads to multiple
