1. What are the first two sentences of the story and how do they create a tension in the story?
My father had a sixth sense. He knew when people would die. This creates tension as we can tell something bad has happened or may happen later on in the story.
2. What has happened to the author’s father as a result of his wife’s death?
He became obsessed with Leslie Cheung who was a popular singer.
3. How does the description of the father removing his hands from his face as ‘unmasked’ related to the seriousness of his following statement?
As this was very serious matter and was not funny at all thus he removes his hands from his face and says ''He's going to die next month.'' What makes this a serious statement is the fact the he mentions death and it is coming soon. This is why he removes his hands from his face as he didn't want to hind behind this.
4. Consider how the father lives his life and conducts himself and the other people in the theatre for the film the author and his father are watching. How does this relate to the title of the story?
He is living as a teenager would like to as he follows popular singers and goes to all their concerts. Old men wouldn't do this but he does. He is living the life of a teenager.
