THE END OF THE PARTY

1.What is the story mainly about?

The two principal protagonists of The End of the Party are nine-year-olds, Peter Morton and Francis Morton. The story makes clear that although they are identicial twins, they possess profound psychological differences - Peter, the elder by several minutes, is presented as a healthy child with an intensively protective attitude towards his impaired brother, while Francis is depicted as being challenged by an intense anxiety disorder. The unnamed narrator speculates that Francis suffered psychological trauma during the birth process, when he was briefly separated from Peter.

2.Who are the main characters in the story?

Francis: He is nine years old. He has a phobia which is a fear of darkness.

Peter: He is nine years old, too. He is Francis’ brother.

3.What is the most important event in the story?

I think the most important event in the story is Francis' fear and his death. 

4.What is the main idea in the story?

Parents shouldnt ignore their child’s fears and should help him/her to reduce his/her fear.
