REASON BEHIND TIME
Emma, Diya, Kavya: The time keeping for the bomb builds tension, it's a dramatic add on that over time gets tenser and it adds a certain realism to it.
Peter: Disagrees, sees it as anticipation, waiting for it to happen which takes long and doesn't build tension.
INTENTION/MEANING BEHIND IT
Manon: Show's that some things are inevitable, nothing those people can do about the bomb.
Group discussion about who believes life is inevitable, that everything is on a track and planned, or if your life is random and you can choose.
CAESURA:
Peter: It's interesting that it compared to a movie, since movies are nice, which applies to the terrorist since he enjoys this. Which makes him quite twisted.
MEANING BEHIND DESCRIPTIVE WRITING:
Emma: The terrorist judges people in a mean way to create distance between the people and doesn't feel empathy.
Manon: The terrorist is able to talk about the people so easily because he is twisted and enjoys talking about it. If we wasn't he would've not been able to talk about them so easily. He's sadistic.
The poem is an analogy for our lack of perspective own destiny's, the terrorist can be seen as god, since he chooses these people's destiny and talks about them.
