As The Twig Is Bent After reading the last chapter in ‘As The Twig Is Bent’ I started thinking. What was the whole purpose of the actual writing, What ideas and attitudes was he trying to convey and how does ‘Terry Lane’ the author shape the readers response through different techniques and conventions. So I wondered these pondering questions to myself and I soon had an answer for the plague driven questions that buzzed inside …showed first 75 words of 402 total…

…showed last 75 words of 402 total…whole childhood argument unreasonable. For example if we started with “I feel that Bob Hawke is a man with a demonstrated ability to argue” and not gone with his opening statement of his childhood adoption. The whole concept would be unrecognizable. So now we know why people with a good family background and a good childhood are going to have reasonably good lives while people that live on the streets are going to hate theirs.
