Lesson 1 (from Part I (Pages 1 - 60))
Objective
The objective of this lesson is for students to analyze the narrator's range of reactions to his enormous settlement agreement as a result of his accident. The narrator does not remember much about his accident, which involved being struck by something falling. The narrator's lawyer, Marc Daubenay, informs the narrator in the very beginning of the novel that he has been awarded 8.5 million pounds, an enormous sum that exceeded the lawyer's expectations. The narrator's very first reaction is to pull the phone extension out of his wall, and after that, he feels fairly numb. For reasons the narrator cannot fully explain, he lies to his closest friends about the amount of the settlement, telling them it is much lower than it actually is.
