The advertising brochure forBantu Island is obviously very misleading - and, although nothing itsays is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represen

24、 had a blood stain on his chest.The grandmother was also standing behind Thomas.Part B: Comprehendithtext Answer the following as fully as possible.1. The curse was that the bag and its “evil contents” gave the grandfatherpower too much power. The power enabled him to get anything hewanted in life b

25、ut he had to pay a high price for this power. Theprice was the life of his wife.2. He bought the house with the help of the power he had been given bythe bag. But he forgot the warning there was a price to pay for thispower.3. His first wish was for 100,000 pounds. He would have received thismoney b

26、ecause of the Life Insurance his son Thomas was insured.When Thomas was killed, the Insurance Company paid him thismoney.4.

Similarly on the night that Arthur asked for 100,000 pounds, his sonThomas died.2. Both Arthur and his father paid t

30、he price for the “help” they asked for.They both knew the bag was “evil” but they both used it to get whatthey thought they wanted.3. Arthur has already learned why his father thought so. But he tries toput the warning from his father out of his mind. And his son later paysthe price the first price.

31、4. His wife definitely is right. Very soon the son Thomas is killed; andvery shortly after his death Arthur and his wife both die and thistime its because Arthurs wife ignores her own warning.5.This is because he has a premonition: he knows what has happened;and he probably feels, as his father had

32、felt, that he is responsible. Hefeels guilty. He has paid too high a price.Part B: Continuithstory tomordefinite conclusion“Hello, father, mother ,” Arthur heard himself say as a sad smile crossed his face. “So, here weall are, together again.” But this isnt what I wished for. I wanted to bring Thom

33、as back to life,I ignored the warning that you gave me. I ignored your plea that I should never use the bag. I usedit twice, in fact. I am doubly guilty: guilty of Thomas and guilty of my wifes and my own deaths. Here we are all together again yes but this is not what I really wanted.Extending yovoc
