11.1
What is the main reason why Gillian Kelly started to take action? (2 p.)
She thought the authorities had gone too far
"So when the government, 10. hellbent on forcing this industry forward, declared it to be a national infrastructure project, and Sajid Javid, the local government secretary, overturned the council’s decision, my blood boiled. "

11.2
What was Gillian’s first visit to the fracking site like? (2 p.)
It was an eye-opener for her, in a positive way
"I was 12. awed even then, by those who had been at the roadside every day since the work had begun. It was a new world but I recognised their conviction and clarity."

11.3
Why is a lock-on a good way of protesting? (2 p.)
Work on the site is slowed down or stopped
"People do this as a protest, to disrupt and delay the work at the site by preventing vehicle access, and to gain publicity."

11.4
How does Gillian feel about being arrested? (2 p.)
She is at peace with it
"However I slowly began to have thoughts about my age; how long I had lived; how arrest was not an impossibility for me; and who, if not me, was in a better position to put themselves on the line."

11.5
What does Gillian want to teach her children and grandchildren? (3 p.)
You should be aware of your connection to the world
"I want my children and grandchildren and their children to have their moment of consciousness – to know what it is to be alive and to see the beauty of the world, and the vastness of the system we are part of."
