First Date: The characters’ feelings

Hey!

 

Today, you worked in small groups on one character and you had to focus on his / her feelings / attitude in the extract:

– Vivian

– Vivian’s mother

– Joey

 

Then, one volunteer from each group came to present the different adjectives (+ the corresponding quotes to justify your answers) to describe each character. Here is what you found:

First date: What about?

Hey!

After a short vocabulary test, we corrected your homework: you had to sum up the text.

Here is what you said:

There are four characters : Vivian, her parents and Joey who is Vivian’s boyfriend. The scene takes place in Vivian’s house. Joey has a rendez-vous /a date with Vivian on Saturday night. They will go the cinema. However, Vivian’s parents disagree with Vivian’s going to the cinema: they don’t want her to go out because Vivian is too young = she is only 16 (years old). Consequently, Vivian is mad because her parents refused and annoyed because it’s her first date. So, she disobeys her parents (= she is disobedient), lies to Joey and finally goes out.

To be written by Youcef.

Then, we corrected the second part of your homework (‘What about’ in detail)

1) You found the exact quotes corresponding to the different events in the text.

2) You deduce the right order of events.

Here is the complete story:

Vivian is arguring with her mother because she disapproves of Vivian going out with a boy because she is too young. So,Vivian’s mother leaves the room to end the conversation. Then, Joey calls Vivian. Vivian is not telling the truth when she says to Joey that her parents allow her to go to the cinema with him. Vivian tells her parents that Joey will drive her to the cinema. Consequently, Vivian gets dressed for her date with Joey. When he arrived, Joey introduced himself to Vivians’s parents. Yet,Vivian’s parents didn’t say anything in front of Joey but don’t seem to appreciate Vivian’s attitude.
