Chapters 1-6

Since you have read the book before and know the ending I think discussing how you relate to the book is a good idea. Just a couple of questions:

1. What would you do if this "running boy" caught your eye from the bus? Do you think it would have made you as interested as it does Roy in the book?

2. What do you think about the altercation between Roy and Dana? Do you think it was fair that Roy was suspended from the bus and Dana had nothing done to him just because he had a broken nose?

I am glad to hear that you have read the book before. I spent my rainy Saturday reading it and couldn't put it down. I thought it was excellent. I hope that we can maybe look deeper into the book as your class finishes reading!
