What you’ll learn
- All children, except onePlace the opening in a London nursery, and show how the sewn shadow and the thimble already assign Wendy the practical work.The first sentence. Nine nine seven, not a prior thought. How clever I am. A thimble instead of a kiss.
- The island that will not stand stillShow Neverland as plural, the Lost Boys as a rule against growing, and Wendy’s value as stories and care.John’s lagoon, Michael’s flamingo. Seven days, then thinning. Tink’s forged order. Cinderella, then pockets.
- The clock in the crocodileKeep the lagoon line, the ticking, Tink’s clap, and Hook’s last etiquette attached to the chapters that hold them.The kite and the drum. Hook hears time. Clap; some don’t. Bad form, then the crocodile.
- Until they are no longer heartlessState the kennel-return, the 1902–1911 sequence, the 1988 royalty as not-copyright, and the last sentence as a cycle.Open window, kennel to the office. Baby, play, novel. s.301. Jane, then Margaret. A door into a window you closed.
Questions this course answers
How does Peter and Wendy actually begin?
Chapter 1: Wendy is two, running with a flower. Mrs Darling wishes she could remain like this for ever. Neverland is not yet a place you can stand in.
What happens when Wendy sews Peter’s shadow on?
Chapter 3. He tried soap first. Wendy sews. He dances and takes the credit. The conceit is, Barrie says, one of his most fascinating qualities.
What does Barrie actually say about Neverland’s geography?
Chapter 1: John’s lagoon with flamingoes; Michael’s flamingo with lagoons; Wendy’s house of leaves. They have a family resemblance, like noses in a row.
How do the Lost Boys try to kill Wendy?
Chapter 5. It is not in their nature to question when Peter orders. The acorn button — Peter’s “kiss” — stops the arrow.
When does Peter say that to die will be an awfully big adventure?
Chapter 8. He cannot fly or swim. The kite lifts one. He pushes Wendy away, feels one shudder, then finds the line.
How does Hook actually die?
Chapter 15. The narrator stops the clock so Hook will not see the crocodile. The last triumph is making Peter show bad form.
