HCSC The Road to Winter Ch 13

"We hear a gunshot. And the low throttle of a trailbike."

This suggests that .....

• Ramage has arrived.

• Kas is hunting.

• the army has come to help everybody.

• there is now a TV signal.

"my heart rising into my mouth."

This is .............

• literally true.

• a simile

• a metaphor

• Third person narrative.

 " I recognise Ramage immediately, straddling the trailbike, a rifle cradled in his arms. There is a bandage around his hand, and his face is bruised and swollen."

Ramage looks like this because ...................... (Choose TWO)

• Finn cut his hand.

• Finn knocked him off his bike by hanging a wire between two trees.

• Finn had a fight with him.

• Ramage had a fight with Kas.

"Well, Harry, my name’s Benny Ramage and I’m pretty much in charge in this part of the country.’

 ‘Not in this valley, you’re not.’ Harry’s voice is defiant."

Here, Harry is

• Asserting his independence from Ramage.

• Acknowledging Ramage as his master.

• Swearing at Ramage.

• Showing off in front of Stella and Willow.

"I hear movement behind me and I turn to see Stella sitting Willow on the table and picking up the shotgun. She puts her finger to her lips and softly clicks the breach into position."

We would most likely infer from this that .............

• Stella is about to shoot willow.

• Stella is planning to support Harry against Ramage.

• Stella is really a Wilder.

• Stella is about to hunt rabbits.

Ramage lets the silence sit for a minute until he says, ‘We could leave you in peace here. But you’ve got something we want. A boy and a girl. She’s a Siley and she belongs to me. We been trackin’ them from the coast. The boy tried to kill me last week.’

The boy and girl he refers to are ....

• Finn and Rose

• Finn and Kas

• Finn and Willow

• Harry and Stella

Willow has slid down off Yogi’s back. She starts running in the direction of the paddock, calling to her mother.  I take off after her, but Kas yells, ‘Leave her! There’s nothing we can do. We’ve got to take our chance now.’

Kaz wants to

• Escape with Finn, leaving Willow behind.

• Escape, leaving Finn and Willow behind.

• Escape with Finn and Willow.

• Escape with Finn, Willow, Harry and Stella.

"I think of Harry and Stella, and how they protected me. And Willow’s just a kid caught up in sh.. she doesn’t understand."

Finn wants to go back into danger because ............ (Choose TWO)

• He wants to help Harry and Stella out of gratitude

• He thinks of how young and innocent Willow is.

• He is too scared to run away with Kas.

• He doesn't like Kas.

‘Sorry,’ I say. ‘I can’t leave them to fight on their own.’

Finn is demonstrating that ....

• he is only concerned about his own safety.

• he has a sense of loyalty to the family that took him in.

• he can't wait to go surfing again.

• he wants to become a Wilder.

Yogi is

• Rowdy's nickname.
