Sample Answer (Ordinary Level) student points
I really enjoy this way of telling stories. The mix of text and images helps the reader to understand the plot. In the fi nal frame it says ‘And it’s not quite the same, tea for one’, showing us that the woman is lonely. The images also back this up by showing us the pictures of her husband who seems to be no longer with her.
