The Giants Necklace - Part 2 - Reading Comprehension

In the second part of "The Giant's Necklace" reading comprehension, Cherry finds herself in a precarious situation, leading her to believe that the cliff might be her only chance of escape. The narrative prompts students to consider who the voices Cherry hears could belong to, and why she makes the decision to leave her shells on a ledge. It is only upon reaching the cave's entrance that Cherry allows herself to think of her family, a detail that invites discussion on her state of mind throughout her ordeal.

The text continues to challenge Cherry's perception of reality, as she realises she has stumbled upon a working mine, indicated by certain clues in her environment. The miners’ peculiar way of speaking raises questions about their true nature. Cherry's confusion upon meeting the miners, and her emotional response to the young miner's story, are explored through targeted questions. The old miner's cryptic comment 'they all are' adds to the mystery, compelling readers to reflect on its significance. Cherry's feelings about returning to her family and her ability to see ghosts are also examined, providing depth to her character. Finally, students are tasked with condensing the essence of part two into a concise summary of no more than 50 words, encapsulating the main events and the atmosphere of the narrative.
