Section One – On the Beach

1.

Moira Davidson starts off being a party girl drinking lots of alcohol. It is not said what the reason is why she drinks so much, but it could be just how she is, or that she is trying to drink away her problems. I assume she doesn't want to see the reality and uses the alcohol to not have to face the facts. Getting to know Dwight Towers she gets to know a person that really means something to her.

He not liking her drinking and the fact getting clearer that life shortly will end makes her think more about her life and what it means to her. Also the fact that she wants to marry Dwight Towers lets her stop drinking alcohol to please him.


2.

Dwight Towers is a proud captain. For him everyone has their own way they are supposed to die and as a captain that means to go under with his submarine and his crew.

Though he spends a lot of time with Moira Davidson, he still loves his wife he lost at war and wants to respect her to the end. He may also feel guilty liking Moira Davidson having things coming to and end not knowing what is coming after.


3.

I think you can compare this situation with how lots of people react in real life. When you see people with cancer, that know they are going to die, lots of them don't want to chance anything either and just life on how things are.

I think they are just not thinking about the end, trying to keep things as normal as possible, because that gives them pleasure. As a family they want to act strong, especially not showing weakness in front of her daughter, who, she is scared, could die first.


4.

This question is quite hard for me to answer.

I have had all sorts of material things, from a BMW 7-series to an Audi A5 to everything materialistic I probably could want, and I have found no pleasure in it.

My biggest dream is to live my life with no regrets. I don't want to have to look back to my life, like so many do, and think I should have done something different.

Further more I want to stay together with my girlfriend having it lead do a happy family.

When time comes then I can probably say my biggest materialistic dream will be to build a house with my own hands. Why is a good question, I guess it's only a predetermined goal that belongs to western culture. But I clearly would like building my own home.


Section Two – The Apple Tree


1.

The two apple trees stand for the two women in the life of the protagonist. The old and dried out tree reminds him of is dead wife, as he says, and the young and nice one reminds him of a secret affair he once had, with a young girl, on a farm he worked at.

He doesn't dare to touch the old, dried out tree and wants to get rid of it and he desires to see the young tree, which is hidden behind the big and old one. Like in is life the chance to touch the young desired one vanishes before he gets the chance to reach her.


2.

I think he smiles “a secret smile” because, through him offering her the logs, he gets a reason to cut down the old tree. Willis always wanted to give the tree a chance and he had nothing to stand against that, not wanting to admit his feelings about the trees. He only made Mrs. Hills think he wanted to help but his intention was only to get rid of the old and dried out tree and to see the young tree.


3.

In life you have different types of people. The protagonist and his wife obviously didn't fit together.

To blame just one person is mainly not quite right. I think both parties are to blame, both in their own way. On the one hand side you can clearly see, that Mrs. Hills is not being loved by the protagonist. He doesn't care about her and just lets her do all the work.

On the other hand Mrs. Hills lets herself be treated that way and doesn't take action.

If both of them were so unhappy, each side should have taken the step of, first talking to each other and if nothing helped, splitting up.


4.

It would be easy to say, that she is just taking revenge on him, and killing him, because he didn't care about her. But if you think about the whole story that wouldn't make too much of a sense.

In my eyes, I would say the whole story is written as a metaphor.

The question though, is just to answer the meaning of the end.

The sake, that he dies, caught in the stump, I think shows that he was caught his lifetime with his wife, not managing to reach the young girl anymore, because she died. It is showing, that after managing to get rid of his wife, his imagination now is free for the young girl. As he then hears that she has died, he desires her, but never manages to reach here, because the wife has held him until it was too late and kills his desires.

The last words show that the wife just wanted to be loved by him and is trying to touch his feelings.
