English  –  Mr.  Connolly  

The Social Setting is the society or kind of world that the text is set in. The Spinning heart is set in the Irish midlands in the aftermath of the 2008 recession. It is set in a small town where everyone knows each other’s business and has an opinion (right or wrong) on other people’s lives. This is why the same story is told from twenty one narrative points of view.

The economic situation of the society has a huge effect on the characters and influences their actions as a result. (Pokey owes too much money and leaves the country which has a detrimental effect on all the characters. Denis is owed €100,000 and is driven to killing Frank Mahon as a result. Bobby has to pick up work where he can to support his family and Brian intends to emigrate).

There is a drinking culture which also influences people’s decisions. Frank Mahon decided to drink out the farm to spite his father as his father believed this was the one thing he would not do. Bobby is admired by his co-workers for going straight home and not going to the pub after work. When Mikey Briars got mad and started asking about his pension he became violent and hit Timmy over the head with a shovel. To calm the situation down they brought him to the pub and drank for the evening. Josie Burke went on a drinking binge for a few months in order to appear tough. He tried to seduce a woman (Lily) while drunk .The drinking culture also affects the characters in the novel.

Parenting within the novel also influences the characters. Both Frank Mahon and Denis had violent fathers which caused them to perpetrate further violence. Frank shut down emotionally and became verbally abusive. Denis murdered Frank because he felt Frank was laughing at him just like his father used to. Josie spoils Pokey because he is overcompensating because he loves his other son (Eamonn) more. This has the knock on effect that Pokey is selfish and doesn’t do things properly….he didn’t pay his employees PRSI payments which resulted in them not being able to get social welfare. Trevor hates his mother and wants to murder her. Bobby also hates his father and calls every day to check to see if he is dead and every day he lets him down.

There is evidence of religious influence within the novel. Brian’s mum is afraid that he won’t go to Mass if he emigrates to Australia. Bobby’s mum used to be mortified going to Mass because she knew that everyone knew how badly Frank was treating her. Bridie blames god for taking her son and lashes out at the priest and religion. Frank believes that he will be judged for his wrong doings and will be left to haunt his cottage until they know what to do with him (whether he will be sent to heaven or hell). Sergeant Jim Gildea prays that he will find Dylan and return him to his mother.

Overall society, particularly family relationships, poverty, religion and unemployment, has a detrimental effect on the characters. Vasya, a Russian immigrant is left financially stranded because Pokey didn’t pay the proper tax payments for him. Many of the characters have to emigrate or find alternative ways of earning money. Even Trevor works at a reduced rate as a Montessori teacher

because of the recession. The social setting shapes the story and characters of this novel.

Theme - Identity

Theme is the main message of the story. There are many themes in “The Spinning Heart” by Donal Ryan. The theme of Identity is predominant and flows right throughout the novel. Identity refers to the identity of the characters. On one level they present themselves to the world as one type of person but as the story progresses through the different narratives their true identity is revealed. The theme is presented in a slow manner as we are drip fed information from the different characters’ points of view.

Bobby Mahon- Bobby sees himself as a coward and blames himself for not recognising that Pokey wasn’t paying the correct taxes. He blames himself for the fact that the characters are now unemployed and poor as a result of not getting their social welfare. It is rumoured that he is having an affair, however in reality this is not true. Despite this rumour everyone else sees Bobby as a hero. This is very evident through the narratives of the other characters and through the key moment of the Community Awards ceremony.

Trevor-This character’s outward appearance is seen as a respectable, quiet Montessori teacher. His true identity could not be more of a contrast. Inwardly he is a psychopathic hypochondriac with murderous thoughts. He uses dark glasses to look at women. He dreams of killing his mother and her friend Dorothy and he wants to kidnap Dylan. He is a paranoid hypochondriac and believes he has cancer and is sick.

Timmy – appears “slow” or “dim” however his information about Llyod and Trevor helps Jim Gildea to solve the case and find Dylan.

Seanie Shaper- presents himself as a womaniser. He is concerned about his appearance. Inwardly he is depressed. He has depressing thoughts and would like to be the man everyone thinks he is.

Frank –comes across as a cold, abusive, nasty, evil man. There are many key moments which show this (his treatment of his wife and Bobby, the fact that he broke up the furniture, drinking out the farm and people’s opinions of him in their narratives). Through his story however we get an insight into his childhood and realise that his father was physically abusive towards him which caused him to be shut down to all the relationships he had with others. His true identity could be regarded as a lonely victim.

Tríona: Outwardly Tríona appears to be struggling with the idea that Bobby had an affair with Realtín (Key moment – Bridie seeing her in the post office) However inwardly she does not believe that Bobby cheated on her and she said that she would perjure herself for him even if he had murdered his father.

Denis appears to be a quiet, subdued husband. Inwardly he is in turmoil. He is under pressure because he is owed €100,000. He becomes unbalanced and goes around trying to get his money and machinery back. He even contemplates running over a security guard. He thinks about physically abusing his wife. He also snaps mentally when he goes to visit Frank and ends up murdering him. After this he curls up in a foetal position.

Exam  Questions  

Day  1  –  Acid  Base  Titrations  

Question  1  

To  determine  the  concentration  of  ethanoic  acid  (CH3COOH)  in  a  sample  of  vinegar,  the  vinegar  was  first  diluted  and  then  titrated  against  25cm3  portions  of  previously  standardised  0.1M  solution  of  

sodium  hydroxide,  NaOH.  One  rough  and  two  accurate  titrations  were  carried  out.  The  three  titration  figures  recorded  were  26.9,  26.6  and  26.7cm3  respectively  

a) Why  was  the  vinegar  diluted  (5)  b) Describe  the  correct  procedure  for  measuring  exactly  25.0cm3  of  vinegar  and  diluting  

it  to  500cm3,  using  deionised  water  (15)  

The  balanced  equation  for  the  reaction  is:  

                                               CH3COOH      +      NaOH      #      CH3COONa      +        H2O  

c) Name  an  indicator  suitable  for  this  titration.  Justify  your  choice  of  indicator.  State  the  colour  change  at  the  end  point  (12)  

d) Calculate  the  concentration  of  the  diluted  solution  of  ethanoic  acid  in  (i)  moles  per  litre  and  (ii)  grams  per  litre  State  the  concentration  of  the  ethanoic  acid  in  the  original  vinegar  sample  in  grams  per  litre  Express  this  concentration  in  terms  of  %(w/v)          (15)  

e) Ethanoic  acid  is  a  carboxylic  acid.  Name  the  aromatic  carboxylic  acid  used  as  a  food  preservative  (3)  

 

 

Question  2  

In  an  experiment  4.69grams  of  hydrated  sodium  carbonate  (Na2CO3.XH2O)  were  weighed  out  and  

dissolved  in  deionised  water.  The  solution  was  then  made  up  to  250cm3  in  a  volumetric  flask.  20cm3  of  this  solution  was  then  transferred  to  a  conical  flask  and  titrated  against  a  standard  0.13M  hydrochloric  acid  solution  using  a  suitable  indicator  

a) Describe  the  procedure  for  dissolving  the  hydrated  salt  and  making  up  the  solution  to  250cm3  in  the  volumetric  flask  (15)  

b) Name  a  suitable  indicator  for  the  titration  and  state  the  colour  change  observed  in  the  conical  flask  at  the  end  point  (6)  Explain  why  not  more  than  1-­‐2  drops  of  indicator  should  be  used  (5)  

c) After  carrying  out  a  number  of  accurate  titrations  using  the  20cm3  of  sodium  carbonate  solution  the  mean  titration  figure  was  found  to  be  20.17cm3  of  the  0.13M  hydrochloric  acid  solution  The  equation  for  the  reaction  is                  Na2CO3      +      2HCl      #      2NaCl      +      H2O      +      CO2    Calculate  the  concentration  of  the  sodium  carbonate  solution  in  (i)  moles  per  litre  and  (ii)  grams  per  litre  (9)  

d) Calculate  the  weight  of  the  water  in  the  original  sample  and  hence  the  percentage  of  water  crystallisation  in  the  hydrated  sodium  carbonate.  Calculate  the  degree  of  hydration  i.e.  the  value  of  X  of  the  original  crystals  (15)  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day  2  -­‐    Redox  Titrations  -­‐  Iron  

Question  3  

In  an  experiment  to  determine  the  mass  of  iron  in  an  iron  tablet,  four  iron  tablets  of  mass  1.28g  

were  dissolved  and  made  up  to  250cm3  of  solution  in  a  volumetric  flask  using  dilute  sulphuric  acid  and  deionised  water.  About  10cm3  of  dilute  sulphuric  acid  was  added  to  20cm3  portions  of  this  iron  (II)  solution  and  the  mixture  was  then  titrated  with  a  0.005M  solution  of  potassium  manganate  (VII),  

(KMnO4).  The  average  titration  value  was  27.4cm3  of  potassium  manganite  (VII),  KMnO4  

a) Describe  in  detail  the  procedure  for  making  up  the  250cm3  solution  from  the  tablets  (15)  

b) Why  was  it  important  to  use  the  dilute  sulphuric  acid  in  making  up  the  solution  from  the  tablets  (5)  

c) Why  was  more  dilute  sulphuric  acid  added  before  the  titrations  were  commenced  (3)  d) How  was  the  end  point  detected  (3)  e) Explain  why  nitric  acid  could  not  be  used  to  provide  acidic  conditions  for  this  

reaction  (3)  

The  titration  reaction  is  described  by  the  equation:  

                       MnO4-­‐      +      5Fe2+      +        8H+      #        Mn2+      +      5Fe3+      +      4H2O  

f) Calculate:  (i) The  number  of  moles  in  27.4cm3  of  the  potassium  manganate  solution  (ii) The  number  of  moles  of  the  iron  (II)  solution  required  to  reduce  this  quantity  

of  potassium  manganate  (iii) The  concentration  of  the  iron  (II)  solution  in  moles  per  litre,  given  that  20cm3  

were  required  to  reduce  27.4cm3  of  potassium  manganate  (iv) The  a)  mass  and  b)  percentage  of  iron  (II)  in  each  tablet    (21)  

 

Question  4  

A  solution  of  ammonium  iron  (II)  sulphate,  (NH4)2SO4.FeSO4.6H20,  used  as  a  primary  standard,  was  prepared  by  dissolving  8.82g  of  the  crystals  in  dilute  sulphuric  acid  and  making  the  solution  up  to  

exactly  250cm3  with  deionised  water.  This  standard  solution  was  titrated  in  25cm3  portions,  to  which  some  more  dilute  sulphuric  acid  had  been  added,  with  a  solution  of  potassium  manganate  (IV),  KMnO4.  On  average,  20.45cm

3  of  the  potassium  manganate  (IV)  solution  were  required  for  the  

complete  oxidation  of  the  Fe2+  ions.  The  equation  for  the  reaction  is:  

    MnO4-­‐      +      5Fe2+        +      8H+          #    Mn2+        +      5Fe3+        +        4H2O  

a  (i)  Explain  the  underlined  term

Question  13  

A  student  carried  out  the  preparation  of  benzoic  acid  by  oxidising  1cm3  of  phenyl  methanol  (benzyl  alcohol,  C6H5CH2OH).  The  oxidation  was  carried  out  in  alkaline  conditions  using  sodium  carbonate  

(Na2CO3)  and  an  excess  potassium  manganate  (VII)  solution  in  a  conical  flask.  

After  heating  the  solution  for  20  mins  it  was  cooled  by  running  cold  water  over  the  outside  of  the  conical  flask.  It  was  then  acidified  with  concentrated  hydrochloric  acid  and  a  brown  precipitate  formed.  

Sodium  sulphite  was  then  added  until  the  precipitate  disappeared  and  the  white  crystals  of  the  benzoic  acid  became  visible.  The  flask  was  placed  in  ice  and  the  crystals  were  filtered  off  by  vacuum  filtration.  The  crystals  were  

dried  and  weighed.  It  was  found  that  0.58g  of  benzoic  acid  was  obtained    The  balanced  equation  for  the  reaction  is:
