Block 5:
  • What influenced Cary's change of tone at the beginning of ch. 10? How come she was suddenly talking like she "knew as precisely as a soldier where I belonged?" (Compare to previous chapters.)
  • On p. 187 Cary describes herself as "numb with frozen rage." What exactly was she mad about and why? Who was she mad at?
  • In what ways does Cary's new found responsibility as vice president affect the way in which people view or interact with her? What does this tell us of the importance of appearances?
  • In what specific way does Cary change in her Sixth Form? Why do these changes bring some people closer and some further away?
Block 6:
  • How does Cary's issue of not willing to trust affect her?
  • While recollecting a practice for the evening recital, Cary states "I lost my place" (183). How does this idea of losing her place relate with common themes of Black Ice? Explain using examples from other texts.
  • Taking into account themes such as the culture of power and belonging, go deeper into her statement on p. 186: "I applied, no doubt, to see inside the courtyard."
  • What does Cary mean by saying "I took courage from her, as much as I dared, and yet I feared her" (196)?
