MOCK PAPER - 2

Read the extract from Neil Gaiman's 'Coraline', and answer the question that
follows. [25]

Her other parents were waiting for her in the garden, standing side by side. They were
smiling. Did you have a nice time?' asked her other mother. 'It was interesting,' said
Coraline. The three of them walked back up to Coraline's other house together.

Coraline's other mother stroked Coraline's hair with her long white fingers. Coraline shook
her head. 'Don't do that,' said Coraline. Her other mother took her hand away. 'So,' said
her other father. 'Do you like it here?' I suppose,' said Coraline. 'It's much more interesting
than at home. 'They went inside. 'I'm glad you like it, said Coraline's other mother.

Because we'd like to think that this is your home. You can stay here forever and always.
If you want to.' 'Hmm,' said Coraline. She put her hands in her pockets and thought about
it. Her fingertips touched the stone that the real Misses Spink and Forcible had given her
the day before, the stone with the hole in it. 'If you want to stay,' said her other father.

There's only one little thing we'll have to do, so you can stay here forever and always.'
They went into the kitchen. On a china plate on the kitchen table were a spool of black
cotton and a long silver needle and, beside them, two large black buttons. 'I don't think so,'
said Coraline. 'Oh, but we want you to,' said her other mother. We want you to stay.

And it's just a little thing.' 'It won't hurt,' said her other father. Coraline knew that when
grown-ups told you something wouldn't hurt it almost always did. She shook her head.

Her other mother smiled brightly and the hair on her head drifted like plants under the sea.
We only want what's best for you,' she said. She put her hand on Coraline's shoul-der.

Coraline backed away. 'I'm going now,' said Coraline. She put her hands back in her
pockets. Her fingers closed around the stone with the hole in. Her other mother's hand
scuttled off Coraline's shoulder like a frightened spider. 'If that's what you want,' she said.
'Yes,' said Coraline. We'll see you soon, though,' said her other father. When you come
back.' 'Um,' said Coraline. 'And then we'll all be together as one big happy family,' said her
other mother. 'Forever and always.’
