Narrative Identity Analysis Worksheet
The Map in the Rain
Mason had packed the compass, but Isla had packed the map. At the edge of the bush campsite, rain tapped the gum leaves while their group waited for the walking track to reopen. Mason wanted to prove he could lead. He usually let louder people make decisions, then regretted staying quiet. “We could follow the creek,” Isla suggested, pointing towards the track. Mason checked the map. A blue line marked the creek, but the paper was already curling in the wet. “That path might be flooded,” he said. His voice came out softer than he intended. Amira crouched beside a patch of flattened grass. “Someone’s walked this way recently.” Mason noticed a small orange trail marker tied to a branch. He remembered seeing the same marker near the campsite information board. “Wait—we can use the markers to find the lookout trail,” he said, louder this time. “Let’s check each one together.” The group followed the markers carefully. At the lookout, the clouds lifted just enough to show the hills beyond the trees. Isla grinned. “Good spotting, Mason.” He felt proud, not because he had led alone, but because he had listened and then shared what he noticed. On the walk back, he offered to carry the damp map. This time, he joined the conversation instead of hanging behind.
Part A: Read for identity clues
Choose the best answer for each question. Use the story, not outside information.
- That he can lead the group
- That he can read the map faster than Isla
- That he is not afraid of rain
- That he knows the walking track by heart
- The map is curling in the wet, and the creek path might be flooded
- Mason had packed a compass
- Isla grinned at the lookout
- The group was talking on the walk back
- Point of view
- Characterisation
- Context
- Voice
- How the writer develops and presents a character
- Who tells the story
- The time, place and circumstances of the story
- The distinctive way a character speaks or expresses themselves
Part B: Build an evidence-based analysis
Use specific details from “The Map in the Rain”. A strong explanation names the clue and explains what it suggests about Mason’s identity.
