The sound of Hollyhocks
1.Beacuse Rock is a madman, and he wasn’t. in page 8, Mr. Armstrong siad i wasn’t too happy to discover i was to share Rock Hudson’s sleeping quarters.
2.Wilf think Rock was talking about his wife,because he thought Belsen and Sandra was same person,and Rock said that “They were Sandra’s favourite flower.I could never understand why.Most people like roses or ‘mums or even petunias,but not hollyhocks.”so Wilf though Sandra is his wife.
3.Because Sandra was a girl who has not money and educational background,and Rock was a boy who has Family business and a prefect future. They has different Growth environment and Values,and Rock’s Family don’t support marriage of Rock and Sandra.In page 10 says “The first meeting between his wife and his mother proved also to be the last, and Sandra was never again invited to the house.
4.In Page 9, “He had attended the right prep school,and later had taken a business admin course in university. On graduation he had gone into one of the downtown branches of his father’s bank as an assistant accountant,and from then on his promotions had been foreordained.” sounds like every steps in his life is planned by his mother already.
5.When Rock’s parents first meet Wilf, Mr.Ranson offered Wilf his hand with a smile and a friendly nod,but his wife only half turned and gave hi a curt nod. When Wilf went out, Mr.Ranson said :”don’t let us drive you out” but his wife turned away,ignoring Wilf. And when Rock want say something, his mother always stopped him.
6.After Rock’s parents leave. He said “The Bitch of Belsen wants me back, but i won’t go-never-never again!” and his mother want he back to home. so Bitch of Belsen is refer his mother.
7.It must be have connection with his mother,because he kill himself the night right after his mother leave.he doesn’t want go home.so we may can assumption he kill himself because he doesn’t want go back home.
8.The flowers were like Rock, they were daed. And flower will be grow up
