1. Themes
Themes Explanation and textual evidence

Explanation
The short story is revolved around the
theme of being judgemental. There are
a few characters can be related to this
theme. They might jump into
conclusion too soon and it caused
misunderstanding.

Examples

Lynne is one of the characters who is

judgemental. After she read about the
book written by William Bradburie in
the library, she was filled with anger.

before.

Another person related to the theme is

Marge. She is the classmate for Geoff
and Marge. When Geoff mentioned
that he wanted to be a barrister or
lawyer, Marge labelled him as money
minded. It can be hurtful when we
labelled someone.

Being judgemental
 Explanation
A creative idea or innovation like is not
always original because we will take
idea and inspiration from different
resources to make improvement. The
same goes with story writing, the
originality does not really exist because
our story’s idea will come from the
story that we read, our experience and
our surrounding.

Example

Lynne emphasised the importance of

originality in the writing. When she
realised that Geoff is not cheating, she
was wondering whether she had read
any story related to the sheepdog in
flood.

As for Geoff story, although his story

idea is similar to William Bradburie’s
story, Mr Velos told Lynne that the
story is still consider original and
Geoff is not cheating.

Poem - My Hero
by Willis Hall

Synopsis

The personas admires his father a lot. He describes his father as very brave and
not afraid of anything. Due to this, he rates him as Number One. His father who
watches horror movies late at night will not be terrified by any scary scenes or
skeletons. If any ghost appears in front of him, he will either greet them fearlessly
or fight them off. Horror figures, ugly or scary looking creatures do not give him
the creeps even if they appear at his door. However, his only weakness is - fear of
spiders.

FORM TWO POEM: My Hero by Willis Hall

Willis Edward Hall (6 April 1929 – 7 March 2005) was an English playwright and radio and
television writer who drew on his working class roots in Leeds for much of his writing. His
best-known work was a stage adaptation of the 1959 novel Billy Liar (1960), co-written with
the book's author and Hall's lifelong friend and collaborator Keith Waterhouse.

Life and Work

Born in Hunslet, Leeds, Hall was the only son and elder child of Walter Hall, an engineer's
fitter, and his wife, Gladys (née Gibbon). He attended local council schools as well as
Cockburn High School After graduation, Hall worked in a variety of positions including
factory worker, trawler hand, and amusement park attendant. Upon reaching the age of
eligibility for National service, Hall volunteered for the regular army, where he served as a
signals corporal in Malaya. During idle hours there, he wrote plays for Chinese children that
were later broadcast on Radio Malaya and designed sets for Singapore Little Theatre.

Hall's military experiences later inspired his first play, The Disciplines of War,about British
soldiers ambushed in the Malayan jungle, that premiered on the fringe of the Edinburgh
International Festival in August 1957. After gaining interest from the Producer Lindsay
Anderson, the play was renamed The Long and the Short and the Tall, and premiered at
London's Royal Court Theatre in 1959. That year it won the Evening Standard's Play of the
Year Award, and was later turned into a film version directed by Leslie Norman in 1961 and
a BBC television series in 1979.

Following his success with Anderson at the Royal Court, Hall contacted a boyhood friend,
writer Keith Waterhouse, about adapting his successful novel Billy Liar (1959). Their 1960
play of the same name starred Albert Finney when it premiered in 1960, and played for 582
performances before being taken out on a series of national tours. Following this success, in
1963 Hall's and Waterhouse's self-styled company, "Waterhall Productions", adapted the
story for the big screen, where it was filmed by John Schlesinger, with Tom Courtenay in the
lead role. Under Waterhall's coaxing, the piece also became the long-running Drury Lane
musical, Billy (1974), starring Michael Crawford, and a television sit-com both in Britain
(1973–4) and in the United States (1979).
Hall continued this successful partnership with Waterhouse and, over the next thirty years,
the two men produced more than 250 scripts for theatre, film, and television.

Hall also wrote more than a dozen children's books, including a series about a family called
the Hollins who meet a vegetarian vampire called Count Alucard. He also wrote a book,
Henry Hollins and the Dinosaur. His membership of The Magic Circle was a source of
inspiration for these books. He also wrote 40 radio and television plays, as well as
contributing to many TV series, including The Return of the Antelope and Minder.

He wrote a musical about the scarecrow Worzel Gummidge, and others based on the books
Treasure Island and The Wind in the Willows. He also wrote the script for the successful
project, Peter Pan: A Musical Adventure (1996).

Hall was married four times. His first three marriages to Kathleen May Cortens (m. 1954),
actress Jill Bennett (m. 1962), and Dorothy Kingsmill-Lunn (m. 1966), all ended in divorce.
On 2 November 1973, Hall married the 28-year-old dancer and actress Valerie Shute, who
survived him, along with his four sons. Following a long fight with esophageal cancer, Hall
died at his home in Ghyll Mews, Ilkley in West Yorkshire on 7 March 2005.

My Hero by Willis Hall

My dad's as brave as a dad can be,

I rate him Number One,

He's not afraid of the dead of night,

Or anything under the sun.

He's not afraid of a late-night film,

Full of horrors on the telly,

And is he afraid of skeletons?

Not dad, not on your Nelly!

He's not afraid of meeting ghosts,

He'd even smile and greet 'em,

And things that scare most dads the most,

My dad could just defeat 'em.

He's not afraid of vampires,

Or a wolf-man come to get him,

If Frankenstein's monster knocked on our door,

He wouldn't let that upset him.

My dad's as brave as a dad can be,

And he's always ready to prove it.

So why, when a spider's in the bath,

Does Mum have to come and remove it?
