READING COMPREHENSION TASKS
Recall the Contents of the Story.
What incident happened to Kitty when she came to the convent a day or two after her trip to the Buddhist monastery?
What was the first explanation for her feeling unwell that Kitty imagined? What was the real reason revealed to her by the nuns?
What was Walter desperate to know when he learnt of Kitty’s pregnancy?
What answer did she give him?
Questions and Tasks for Analytical Reading.
Why was Kitty so desperate to call Walter when she felt ill? Was it just because he was the only doctor at hand, in your opinion?
Why was Kitty shocked when she learnt she was with a baby? Why did she feel ashamed?
What made Walter come home early on that day though, as he said, he realised that Kitty's case wasn't serious? Was Kitty right thinking about him that his professional instincts were stronger than his personal?
Why didn't the nuns tell Walter what the matter was with Kitty? What reaction did they anticipate?
How did Walter accept the news of Kitty's being pregnant? Why did his first reaction seem devastating to her? What would it mean for him to know that he was the father? What reaction did Kitty expect from her husband in case she admitted that the baby was his? Why couldn't she say that though she terribly wanted his care and consolation?
What did Kitty notice and realise having given her answer? What were the reasons for Walter's exhaustion? Why didn't Kitty try to arouse his sympathy?
Retell Part 17 in Kitty's or Walter's name.
