Background to the Story:
Wasps can attack in swarms and that multiple wasp stings (or, if you are allergic, a single sting) can be lethal.
Farms can cover large areas, cellphone coverage can be poor, and emergency services might take longer to arrive than in the city.
Farmers need to check fences on regularly and they often use quad bikes to get around their farm.
Questions
Why did Janet think she wouldn’t get up again if she lay down?
Why did the paramedics race towards Janet as soon as they reached the farmhouse?
Why did Janet hear rather than see the helicopter arrive?
Why does Janet still shiver when she hears an insect buzzing?
Think about the immediate effects that the wasp attack had on Janet. What were they? How do we know?
What were the lasting effects of the wasp attack? What evidence in the text supports your inferences?
Activities
Write about whether the hardest part of the experience for Janet was the attack itself, the walk home, or something else, using descriptions and examples in the text as evidence.
Make comparisons between the physical scars that healed over time and the emotional scars that Janet is left with.
