Day 1 Block 2: Girl, Interrupted

Remember to post twice for a B. More than that will get you the A. We've been seeing a lot of plot summary. You've all ready the book so that isn't necessary. We've also seen a lot of GREAT comments about characters and conflicts. Keep it up! Question each other and dig deeper.

Day 1 Block 2: The Alchemist

Question each other and dig deeper. This is a book with many layers. What does the word "fate" mean to you all, for instance? Is this book only about religion or something more?

Day 2 Block 4: Girl, Interrupted

Some questions to think about: What do you think of Amir's actions? Why does he do what he does and how does it enhance or destroy his character? What is going on inside? What do you learn about the culture and religion that hints at the fact that Amir would decide to do this?

Ender's Game

A couple of questions to think about: How do you personally identify with Ender? Are his circumstances something everyone has to deal with or only for this book and genre? Does the science fiction genre help or hinder your reading? Does it matter that it takes place in space?
