    The Signalman

    M. TALHA SUBHAN AND M. SHAFIN


    8- BLUE
    What is the Signalman?

     A famous story by Charles Dickens which talks about a narrator


    who is planning on staying somewhere for sometime, he asks his
    hotel porter if he could recommend a walk so he talks about
    strange happenings down the tunnel.
    The narrator has heard of it in an news paper so he decides to go
    there, he found himself at a railway tunnel in which he saw a
    signalman with a flag. The signalman acts weird at first but
    eventually they become good friends and one day the signalman
    tells the man about a man who stands on the track and waves
    his arms and never speaks and right after seeing him a tragic
    event occurs. The man goes to the signalman the next day and
    found out he died. He is devastated and never found out the
    answer to these tragic events.
    Genre

    This story is about a person who is seeing the future


    in a very indirect way. This causes him to be
    pressurized and wants to help him self and others so
    he tries to stop the train many times so the figure he
    sees at the end of the tunnel goes away but an
    incident always happens. With this sort of future
    seeing powers this story is clearly “ FICTION”.
    THEME

    Responsibility. A major theme in ''The Signal-Man''


    is responsibility. The signalman is haunted not only
    by his own future ghost but by his duty to protect
    train passengers, conductors, and other crewmen on
    his line.
    MAJOR PLOT TWISTS hyyyyyyyyyyyyy

     Signal sees a figure go down the tunnel so he calls the train


    to stop, no person is seen so the train is back on track but
    about 6 hours later news reaches that a man was killed by a
    train in the tunnel
     Same black figure comes a year later after the signalman
    has recovered from the shock, the figure had his head down
    and when the train was stopped terrible screams came from
    the compartment and a young lady was taken out dead.
     On the third time when he saw the black figure at the end of
    the tunnel it was too late and he himself was now hit by the
    train.
