Answers the Destructors Graham Greene

1. The protagonist is Trevor, because he is the main character of this story. The antagonist is Old Misery's house, because of what it stands for. I think the conflict is man vs. society.

2. The suspense of the story was seeing if the gang could destroy the house on time without getting caught; especially since old misery was back early from his trip.

3. Unlike commercial fiction the characters were more flawed and realistic. Another thing is that you understand the worldview and the motivation behind why they destroyed the house. Last, even though the ending was what the protagonist wanted to accomplish it was still unsettling.

4a. Trevor's motivation for destroying the house was because it was the only house that was not destroyed from the blitz bombing. Trevor also was jealous that his dad is no longer an architect , and Old Misery's house was built by one one the most famous architects in England. The gang agreed to do it because it will bring them notoriety. They believe that after destroying that house all of London will know they did it.

b. Blackie didn't leave because he wanted the gang to be famous.

c. The gang knew the importance of what it means by destroying the house.

d. They burned the bank notes to prove that they aren't stealing, but destroying everything.

e. They don't want to harm Old Misery, just the house. They are actually showing him some consideration by giving him food and blankets.

f. The lorry driver found it amusing because the house was not effected by the bombing; it stood with dignity and now it's in rubles. By pinching free rides the gang was not trying to hurt anybody, and when they destroyed Old Misery's house they were not trying to harm Old Misery.

5. The Blitz was the bombing of London by the Nazi's after WW2. Also the Wormsly Common Underground Station was where you hid when the the bombing is happening and you had no where else to go. The gang was too young to even know that what was going on because at the time Blackie would have been one years old, but it is the very reason why they destroyed Old Misery's house. The consequences of the war is how it effected the children in the story. I don't believe the story stated the cause of the war.
