Secret Passage

• What can you see? What do you think? What do you wonder? [See think wonder]
• How could you describe this setting? Consider the following:
  • What materials can you see?
  • The texture of each brick
  • The carvings, shapes and patterns
  • The level of cleanliness and the condition of objects
  • The light and shadows
• Where does the secret passage lead?
• Why is it lined with books?
• Why is one book (in the foreground) burning?
• What is the man doing? Who is he?
• Who else knows about the secret passage?
• Why does it need to be secret?
• What is the key for (hanging on the wall on the right)?
• Why do the clocks show different times?
• What do you think is on the front of the secret door? What would people see when it was closed?
• Use this setting, and this character, in your own story.
