THEME FOR RELEASE

THEME 1:Neighbour(NEGATIVE)
EVIDENCE:
"Eileen tied her hair into a ponytail and went over to say hi, just to be a friendly neighbour. She was so pregnant that she could hardly walk down the street without heaving like a dying dog, but she went anyway" -pg 139

"Eileen thought the woman was shy."Are you moving in all right?" The woman snarled,"I'm not moving in."" -pg 139

"Yeah,yeah, you're like our dog...Our dog is pregnant...Due in a month.When are you going to get rid of that...Don't give birth to as many as this dog's going to have" -pg 140

"In the first week, the new neightbour cut down the guava tree near the fence separating the two houses while Eileen was at the supermarket. She came back to a big, ugly hold in the garden" -pg 141

Personal Comment:
Eileen who is pregnant wanted to made a good expression to her neighbour went to their house and said hi, in return the neighbour was rude. Her neighbour snarled at her which shows us that the tone of the neighbour is very aggressive. Her neighbour also compared her to their dog, which is something we do not do as you are trying to imply that she is a bitch. During the first week, her neighbour cut her guava tree leaving a ugly hole, which is not a welcoming sight.

THEME 2: Mystery
Evidence:
"The man shoved a blueprint under her nose and said, "The lawyer might not think so, and you should count yourselves lucky that the ex-owner was too lazy to investigate this."...Philip looked at the blueprint and handled it back to the man..."the blueprint didn't look like the one of their property."" -pg 142~143

"Every time the baby fell asleep, the four puppies would whimper and the baby would wake up, and it was hell trying to get her to sleep again" -pg 143~144

"Thud. A dull sound. It came from the outside.She looked out the window, heard it again-thud. She heard squeals. Thud, and one more- thud. And there was silence. She saw the man emerge from the shadows, wiping the spanner" -pg 148

Personal Comment:
It is suspicious that the man had the blueprint and it could be fake. The four puppies that whimper could be feeling hunger. The man could be using the spanner which he got from Eileen to kill the puppies as there was silence after the thud, and the man emerge from the shadows, wiping the spanner which could be covered with blood.

THEME 3: Selfishness
Evidence:
"She had gone to the neighbours a few dats ago, but there was no one home. No
one had been home for a while. She didn't know how long they had been gone. She tried as hard as possible not to notice anything about her neighbours. Someone must be looking after the dog and the puppies. There were always food and water in the bowls, though she never saw the person who filled them." -pg 144
"But you see, they're not in. The dogs are by themselves." -pg 145

Personal Comment:
The neighbour is being selfish by going on a holiday, leaving their dogs at home to be taken care of by a hired worker. The hired worker took matters at his own hands and most probably killed their dogs.

Characteristics:

Eileen:
P1:She is on good terms with others
E1:“Eileen tied her hair into a ponytail and went over to say hi, just to be a friendly neighbor. She was pregnant that she could hardly walk down the street without heaving like a dying dog, but she went anyway. -pg 139

P2: She is compulsive
E2:""Goddammit," Eileen said. She grabbed Philip's arm and said, "Go and tell that woman to move the fence back." -pg 142

P3:She is narrow-minded
E3:“You don’t do gardening anyway. So what if they took a foot if the garden? Why make things so difficult? -pg 143

Philip:
P1:He is Petty
E1:“I told you yesterday and this morning…It’s all right. I’ll just have to zip over to the cleaners before I come and get you. I thought that now you weren’t working, you could…forget it. If we’re late for dinner, you explain to them” -pg 140~141

P2: He not detailed
E2: "Philip looked at the blueprint and handled it back to the man. He took Eileen's arm and steered her towards their house."Sorry," he said to the man, who went back inside his house and slammed the door..."That blueprint didn't look like the one of their property."" -pg 142~143
