                                                      Summary of Secret

         

         

    Kylie feel left out from her mother and Philip’s activities. She becomes interested in the chicken in the yard. Somehow her secret helps her to feel less lonely. She finds a second egg and then finds out where others are being laid by an unhealthy-looking hen. She likes to sit on the fence, sharing the secret with the hen. When she moves into the house, she is forbidden to lift the lid. Some afternoon she sits out under the grapevines with her photo album, turning page and looking at the lid every now and then she misses her father.

Next, she watches the hen sitting on the ten eggs. Then she takes the lid off the well and starts to go down the well with her photo. She watches her mother and step-father in the house and thinks why her father is not with them. In the afternoon, Philip caught Kylie down the well and hit her. That evening, the chicks hatches in the space and are thrown down the well by Kylie. Then, she hits the hen and throws it down the well until Philip comes out to get her. Before bed, she takes one special photo with a pair of scissor to cut off her head from the photo and throw it away.

Three people in this story

I feel sorry for Kylie because she was left alone and looked forward her father.

     I disapprove of Kylie’s mother because she didn’t take care Kylie who is her daughter and was not allowed to Kylie knew why her father and her mother did not live together.

I dislike Philip because he wasn’t interested feeling’s kylie and hit her.

What do you feel about the story?

          I think the story about  neglect, loneliness and problems associated with contemporary family life. Kylie who is a young girl was left alone because her mother has a new husband and love him more than her. Her mother didn't take care Kylie. She left Kylie play alone and didn't rather talk with daughter. To make Kylie felt loneliness and want to sit in the well only for missing her father. It's make her decide to do everything by self though that thing is correct or incorrect. It's big problems of family that must to manage it for happiness of family.

Discussing the story symbols

The eggs 

                          The eggs symbolize new life.  

The well

                The well symbolize real frightening experiences .

The photos

         

 The photos symbolize past events that Kylie remember about her family. To make her missed her father.

Kylie' s cutting of the photo 

         

Kylie' s cutting of the photo symbolize decision solve the problems of children.

   What were you going to do? If you were Kylie.

                If I were Kylie, I will go out to play with friends. To take the photo album give to my mother see and ask all things that I suspect. I don't care Philip who is father in law. I will search the information of my father from my cousins. I will talk with my neighbors and try to do activities with my mother for good relationship.
