The dangers of smoking + The characters' feelings

Hey,

today we first commented on a gruesome picture that is going to be depicted on cigarette packs by the end of April in France. Here is what we said:

The new law in France:

Type: awareness campaign

Target: everyone, in particular people who smoke

Goal:

- to prevent people from smoking
- to shock people
- to make people react

Efficient? Yes, power of the picture

It's on cigarette packs:
You can really picture the consequences of cigarettes.

Here:

- throat cancer / lung cancer
- mouth disease (teeth, gum)
- gangrene
- risk of miscarriage of the baby

+ problems of erection

Then we continued the class with a quick recap of what we had said about the situation in the text and we went on talking about the characters feelings and reactions:

The feelings of the characters:

Philip is deeply in love with Stella, he wants to marry her. He is in search of a wedding ring. He doesn't know Stella and Joe are having an affair.
Stella feels guilty not telling Philip but she wants to break up face to face. She is not cruel / heartless / disrespectful.
She has not had the opportunity to tell him.
She doesn't want him to come back because she has already cheated on him.
She tries to hide her real feelings for Joe and Joe also tries to conceal their affair.
The verbs of speech that are used are neutral ("said") and reinforce this idea.
The unlawful couple doesn't want their relationship to be revealed / disclosed.

HW: Get ready to answer this question briefly -> "If you had been Stella, would you have stood by Philip?" Why or why not?
