The Curse: Important Incidents Timeline and Exercise

Assalamualaikum and Hi students,

There are many important incidents that happened in the story The Curse. But i have chosen 10 of them and created time lines for it. Each time line should be discussed in order to find the characteristics of the characters involved and the moral values. 

I focused on these incidents so that you can easily refer back to the incidents (as proofs) when you are giving statements in your answer of question #33. 











Using these incidents as evidence, you can try answering these questions from previous SPM.
I don't want to have a target for this year's question, but I hope that using previous years' questions, you can train yourself to have your own opinions, and to know where to get the evidence to support your opinion.
