We are still grappling with the concept of ADHD, a difficulty that encompasses one or many of the following: impulsivity, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, poor behavior and inconsistent achievement. There canot be a school in the country that is not sruggling to understand and deal with pupils who exhibit these problems. Yet there is continued disagreement over diagnosis and treatment. Against this background, students who fall into this category give themselves, their families and their schools considerable cause for concern.
It is not yer clear whether there is a deficit in psychological processes related to attention, or indeed if there is another cause. What is known is that more boys than girls are affected, and a figure of between 3% and 6% is usually given.
In school, these students present as restless and impulsive. They will have poor concentration/attention spans and probably exhibit poor visual or auditory memory. Difficulties are not confined to the school situation, and parents report similar behaviours at home. Not surprisingly, coupled with this, is often an uneven pattern of attainment.

First PageChapters 1-2 The opening chapter of the story introduces the two main characters: the narrator Nick Black and his friend Ravi. Definition Narrator means the person who is telling the story. In this case Nick Black is both the narrator and a character in the story. Although they are friends, they have very different interests and different opinions on the day out at the empty beach. Authors reveal their characters' personalities: By what the SAY (and HOW they say it). By what they Do (and HOW they do it). e.g. The word 'moaned' is used to describe HOW Nick speaks, and the phrase 'in an excited voice' is used to describe HOW Ravi speaks. Group Activity Discuss the differences between the two characters that you find out about in Chapter 1. Find evidence from the text to support the points you make. Complete the grid on Page 2 to record your points. The first one has been done for you.

The narrative structure
The author Nigel Hinton deliberately chooses:
-To tell the story using FIRST PERSON NARRATIVE, i.e. the person telling the story is the main character in the story - Perry Grant.
- To tell the story using FLASHBACK, i.e. he tells the reader the ending in the first chapter, and then goes back to tell the events which led up to the ending.
- To use a 'MOTIF' which links the different parts of the story. In the story the 'motif' is the song 'Love is the answer'.
Definition
Motif - is the name given to an image or object in a story which is repeated and so gains more meaning as the story develops. In this story it is a song.
Read the first five chapters of the novel, discuss the following with your reading partner or group and complete the grid on page 2.
- What information about the ending do you get in the opening chapter? Fill in the details in the template on the next page.
- How does the use of flashback help build up a sense of mystery and suspense and make you want to read on? Discuss the questions that you want the story to answer and fill them in on the teamplate.
