1.     Faith:

·         What’s the setting of the story?

The story takes place in London, middleclass.

·         The relationship between Sarah and Paul:

They have reached the dead end of their relationship. Based on routines. Paul wants a family life, but Sarah isn’t sure. They’re stocked (p. 46). Every day-life has become boring. Baby project keeps them together (p. 47)

·         How Sarah does feels about getting pregnant?

She cannot make up her mind about whether or not she wants to get pregnant with Paul or not.

·         Who is holding back? Why?

She is the one who is holding back, because she does not love Paul.

·         Examples of appearance being important:

-

·         Why does Brian climb the roof?

It is to make a statement and to show his dissatisfaction.

Brian represents the wild and impulsive. He is spontaneous, enthuastic.

He has two boys and they both have 11 names (11 as a football team).

·         Why is Sarah “intrigued” by Brian?

He makes decisions, he is brave, he is passionate, he believes in faith.

·         Why does Sarah leave Paul? What happens afterwards?

She was not happy. There was a hole in her that he would never be able to fill.

Afterwards she gets pregnant with her friends brother.

·         Discuss the title:

Two kinds of faith:

When she lives with Paul she gambles. She allows the faith to make things happen (pregnant or not? – she has no control).

After she meets Brian, she decides to change life. She starts to make her own choices. You need to have faith in yourself to achieve.
