Teenage Dreamers by
Phillip Tang
1. What are the first
two sentences of the story and how do they create a tension in the story? The
first two sentences help to create tension as you start to think that this
father is nothing like a normal human and has a special power to predict death
this gets the reader to expect this story to be about death.
2. What has happened
to the author’s father as a result of his wife’s death? He became obsessed
with Leslie Cheung after his wife died.
3. How does the
description of the father removing his hands from his face as ‘unmasked’
related to the seriousness of his following statement? The processes of
unmasking is related to him coming to a point in realisation and the statement
that “he is going to die” means that his sixth sense is starting again and that
Leslie is going to die.
4. Consider how the
father lives his life and conducts himself and the other people in the theatre
for the film the author and his father are watching. How does this relate to
the title of the story? Is that he is just like a teenager how they dream
and wish that there life was just like their favourite pop star or actor while
trying to avoid things that destroy that dream of theirs.
