- 1) Evaluate Framtons thinking as a man going
through nerve treatment. Does Mrs. Sappleton or
Vera appear to be sympathetic to his experiences?
Use text-based evidence to support your
evaluation.
94Example response to 1 LT09
- Evaluate Framtons thinking as a man going
through nerve treatment. Does Mrs. Sappleton or
Vera appear to be sympathetic to his experiences?
Use text-based evidence to support your
evaluation. - Framtons thinking is very doubting. He does not
want to visit total strangers because he doubted
that they would do much towards helping the nerve
treatment. Framtons reasoning seems to be that
he does not want to get better and would rather
just not talk to anyone and mope. Vera is not
sympathetic to his experience. She makes up a
story about Mrs. Sappletons husband going off to
hunt and hot coming back. This was not true and
when the husband did return Framton got scared
and ran away.
