This document provides discussion questions about two scenes from a play - "The Council Chamber" and "Tell Me It's Not True". For the first scene, it asks how the sentence moods are significant, what the purpose of the narrator's final question to the audience is, and what Russell wants the audience to think. For the second scene, it asks about the circular narrative structure, how to annotate the song by linking back to the prologue, how the audience feels about Mrs. Johnstone, what role the narrator has played, and whether it is "just a story".
