Character Feelings/ Emotions Evidence from the text
Helen: Nervous
“Helen the rooster stepped from one foot to the other. Last year, she had been so nervous she had vomited before the show.” (p12)
Josh: stressed
Seth turned round. Now he could see what Josh was trying to say. So could the rest of the children. ‘’Excuse me, Mr A,’’ Seth said.’’ I think George’s tail might be on fire. (12)
Mr Appleton:Angry
Seth could hear Josh humming to himself, the way he did when he wanted to say something but wasn’t allowed. Mr Appleton looked to the back of the line. ‘’Quiet, Josh,’’ he whispered. ‘’But-’’ ‘’No, Josh,quiet!’’ Mr Appleton’s voice rose dangerously. (12)
The cat:Worried
Seth could feel the children around him began to worry. Seth wasn’t worried. He was dressed as a cat. Cats never worry. (13)
