Discussion Questions
Narration Prompt
Summarize the chapter's narrative arc, then identify the central tension Barrie is developing between the child's world and the adult's, and evaluate whether he handles it honestly and effectively.
Discussion Questions
- Barrie's narrator claims that 'two is the beginning of the end' and that childhood is a country adults 'shall land no more.' Does the chapter present that view as a hard truth about growing up or as a romantic way of seeing childhood, and why? Use the chapter's details about the narrator's language and Wendy's experience to explain.
- The narrator is an adult who confesses he can return to childhood 'no more,' yet he narrates what is ostensibly a children's story. How does narrating childhood from the vantage of an adult who has lost it shape the chapter's vision of childhood, and why? Use the chapter's details about how the narrator addresses Wendy and the reader to explain.
