Caroline

1. How does the story feed on this fantasy?

What makes it fantasy is when Coraline imagined that she having a other mother and father. She
imagined that she has other mother who can cook chicken.

2. How is the chicken in the other family different from how chicken is usually served in her
household?

Based from the story. Coraline said that “it is the best chicken she ever had eaten. It is huge, golden-
brown roasted chicken”. Unlike the chicken that her mother usually served. She said that it is frozen,
very dry and it never tasted anything.

3. What does the chicken symbolize?

For me, it is her favorite food that is why when she tasted the chicken that her other mother gave, she is
amused and happy because it is very delicious.

4. The other mother encourages Coraline to play with rats. What does this tell us about the other
mother’s character?

I think the mother wants to get Coraline. She wants Coraline to be their daughter that is why she
encouraged Coraline to play with rats.

5. Why does Coraline respond the way that she does? Because she thinks that having a other
mother and father is good.
