Skellig by David Almond - Critical Question - English - Year 10

What do the images suggest? 


There is a lot of images in Skellig about birds, the motif of the story or the idea is about birds. Micheal's friend, Mina, talk a lot about birds and them having wings, they also touch on the subject about how humans use to have wings when they were angels. Because of these ideas, it suggests that angels or people with wings are real and we see Skellig in the book having wings.

In whose interest is this text?

This book is for young adults, teenagers who are between 13-18 and also adults because the book is more serious. it talks about having to deal with something you had no control over. Micheal, the main character, has a baby sister and is very ill and has to go to the hospital.

What genre does this text belong to?

It belongs in the young adult fiction and fantasy. Why it belongs to this section is because of humans having wings which explain the fantasy bit and it also belongs to young adult fiction because it talks about a person who is close to you very sick and you can't do anything about it except wait.
