Then we watched a film called The Village (a scary, thriller where a seemingly isolated community is controlled by fear -- much the same way the people of Waknuk are controlled in their isolated community by the fear of what lurks beyond the Wild Country. I hope you enjoyed it and saw the parallel with the novel.
Prior to watching the movie we did these questions (each answer was one or two sentences long)
The Chrysalids -- The Village
1. In your own words, define fear.
2. How does fear affect your life?
3. Give an example, in your life, where fear shaped your behaviour.
4. Give an example, from the world, where fear shaped (or shapes) people's behaviour.
Flo, I rented this movie from the vid store. Maybe someone can rent it for you? Or, if you'd like, you can watch it one evening, once you return to Revelstoke.
