Good morning everyone. Today is the last day of the marking period. Many of you have done very well.
There isn’t a lot of reading today – only part 7 (VII) of the story. You can read it here:

In this part of the story he has a really strange dream. It is filled with metaphors (representation) and suggestions and double meanings.
Please answer the following 3 questions:
- Before he goes to sleep, he’s thinking about how much land he’ll get and how much money he’ll make. Is he jinxing the whole thing by doing that?
- In his dream Pahom sees all the people who have randomly come by and given him a better deal, and then it’s a guy with horns and hooved feet. Can you explain what the author is suggesting please?
- Predict how the story will end, especially using evidence from this strange dream.
The Dream Sequence: 25:49 – 28:30
