6Beckett Answers - Friday

 Reading

1.     Rurik’s reaction is surprising because he is happy and congratulates Gunnar for hitting Hogni/he finds it funny.

2.     On the third day Gunnar saw Kaupang.

3.     The impression I have of the alleys is that they are very narrow and lead all over at random. The word ‘wiggle’ could imply that they are alive or magical.

4.     The description suggests that the boats are comfortable and small because they are ‘nestling cozily’ and they are happy/content because they are ‘like piglets suckling from their mothers.’

5.     On page 66 Gunnar meets Gauk. He is friendly as he has an open grin and he has fair hair and blue eyes.

6.     The two impressions I have of Kaupang is that (two from) it’s dirty/unclean/disgusiting as there’s mud, rats and mangy dogs. It’s dangerous as ‘strange faces peered at them from the shadows. It’s smelly because ‘the mud grew thicker and smellier’.

7.     Gunnar was tricked at the end of the chapter because Gauk had lead him to the horrible Ivar and Njal who hit Gunnar and held him hostage to take to the king.
