un sac de billes- question

Hiya. I'm currently trying to do my second piece (1000 words) of french coursework. I have chosen to study 'un sac de billes' the only problem is, im a bit stuck on a question.

Could any one who has also studied the text (perhaps for the literature exam) give me any ideas for questions? What does the exam normally focus on?

Thanks in advance

hmm i studied this at A2, but i took it as a literature exam. if i'm honest, i can't remember my questions at all... but, if you can get hold of edexcel past papers for the last couple of years you will find question ideas. i remember talking about the 'systeme D' a lot, as well as doing practise questions that translated as things like "in times of war, all that matters is to survive. discuss."

im doin this book at the moment and most of the questions have required talking about how Joseph's character has developped in the book, the relationship between Maurice, Joseph and their father, whether or not is right to say Papa Joffo is the true hero of the book and the writers style. That's all i got! hope its useful!
