The Ocean at the End of the Lane Classroom Questions - Amy Farrell
Prologue
Summary
Following a funeral service, the speaker goes for a drive. Without planning to, he goes to his childhood home and notes how it has changed. He feels disconnected from his past and his younger self.
He knows he has to drive to his sister’s house and make small talk about his life with people he has not seen in years.
Instead of doing this, he continues driving away from the town and down the lane of his childhood.
He arrives at the Hempstocks’ farm and talks with Mrs Hempstock, who remembers him as Lettie’s friend. Then he walks out to the duckpond, where he sits down and begins to remember.

Chapter I
Summary
The speaker recalls that nobody came to his seventh birthday, which he then spent alone, reading in his room. He got a black kitten, Fluffy, as a gift from his father, that he loved dearly.
A month later, the cat was run over when the opal miner came to stay. This man replaced the kitten with an unfriendly ginger tomcat. The speaker’s family didn’t seem to care about the kitten’s death, or understand why he should be upset about it.

4.What happened to Fluffy, the kitten?
5.What do you think of the way the opal miner breaks the news about the kitten to the speaker?
6.Describe the new cat. Is he a suitable replacement?

What is your reaction to this?
Chapter II
Summary
The speaker recalls that he wasn’t a happy child and used to escape from his life in books.
He remembers how life changed when his parents were no longer wealthy and he had to give up his bedroom, sharing instead with his little sister, while his room was rented out to tenants.
On the first day of the spring holidays, while looking for a comic, the speaker discovers that their car has been stolen. The police report that it has been abandoned at the end of the lane, so the speaker and his
