Use at least two quotations to support your answer. 5.A student said: “In Act 1, Sheila Birling is presented as the complete opposite of her father. Priestley uses Sheila to show that the younger generation is looking for social change.” To what extent do you agree and why? Use quotations to support your answer. 6.Imagine you are directing your own performance of An Inspector Calls. How would you tell Sheila to act during her dialogue with Gerald at the end of Act 1? Think about: body language, positioning, movement, gestures and tone of voice. Annotate the script in two colours: one to add to the existing stage directions and one to explain your choices.
