Q1.) Why did Leslie die offstage in the movie?
Answer:
In my own opinion,there are two possible reasons why Leslie died offstage.

The first reason probably could be because the director felt that it would be a little too difficult for the actress(who acts as Leslie) to act out a death scene with her young age as she may not be able to express herself well by her expressions and body movement.Hence,the director decided not to take the scene of how Leslie died.

The second reason could be because the director felt that it would be too dangerous for the actress to act out the scene.I feel that the director may have felt that it would be too dangerous as they would have to the cut the rope and take the scene of the actress falling into the river.In the event that the scene is not successful,they would have to have a few more takes of the same scene which would increase the risk of any mishaps that may happen when taking this scene.
Therefore,the director decided to let Leslie die offstage.

Q2.)Who/What does the dark lord represents?
(*in my opinion* dark lord= a person's fear of something)

( i) Leslie's dark lord is the fear of being lonely and not having any friends around her to accompany her.She do not really care who she mixes with as long as she isn't feeling lonely. She also wish that she have someone whom she can confide,trust and rely on.

(ii) Jesse's dark lord is the fear of not having any attention from anyone and eventually losing them.These could probably be the reason why both Leslie and him rely on each other to a great extent as she is one who he can confide in.It is also his wish that his family will pay more attention to him especially the attention of his parents.

(iii)My dark lord is the fear of being lonely and not having any friends around me.I've ever experienced that feeling before and the feeling was really awful!It felt like there's a void which needed to be filled up and in my opinion,that void would definitely be filled up by friends.When i just came to Singapore to study,i felt very lonely as i did not have any friends with me and therefore,i did not step out of the house. Besides not having any friends,i did not own a computer or any communication devices with me.Thus,for that first few months,i felt lonely and had no one to rely on except for my mother and sister.Therefore,i feel that my friends are very important to me.

3) Do you prefer the movie or the book?Why?
I prefer the movie as i can have a better view of how the characters may look like instead of having myself to imagine.Another reason why i prefer the movie as watching the movie will help me have a better understanding of the story and it's more interesting compared to the book as i would have taken a few days to read finish the whole story and i may not have a good understanding of the story.Besides,it would be troublesome for me as i would have to check the dictionary for the words that i do not understand and it would definitely cause me to lose interest in the book and the passion to read books.
