3. Would you like to be anyone in the story? Who? Why?
4. Who would play the characters in a movie?
5. Choose a passage that you responded to emotionally. Explain why.
6. Choose a theme song for the book. What is it and why should that song be the one?
7. What would you change? Why?
8. If you were to write a sequel or alternate ending, what would it be like? What if you were able to change one plot point in the book?
9. Reflect on the book and its message. What do you learn? How does it make you feel? Does it prompt you to some sort of action? Did it make you think something you haven’t previously thought about?
