The Last Bear - Session 12 - Reading Comprehension

Session 12 of 'The Last Bear' reading comprehension delves into a series of questions that probe the reader's understanding of the narrative's events and the protagonist's emotions. The questions range from practical challenges, such as why April doesn't retrieve the satellite phone and how she manages to launch the boat into the sea, to interpreting figurative language, like what is suggested by the phrase 'her stomach flip-flopped'. The effectiveness of comparing the sea to a rollercoaster is also explored, inviting readers to consider the use of similes in literature.

The session further examines the emotional dynamics between April and the titular Bear. It questions the reassurances April offers to Bear, the reason behind her decision to scream, and the ways in which Bear attempts to assist April amidst the chaos at sea. Additionally, the reader is asked to consider the emotional state of April's father upon her awakening, and the whereabouts of Bear following the tumultuous events. To culminate the session, readers are tasked with the challenge of summarising the session in a concise format, using no more than 50 words, ensuring a clear and succinct encapsulation of the key developments in the story.
