Epilogues

No questions for these.  I am wondering, though, if any of you have read Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life.  Please just indicate if you have or have not.

Bree 7

On pages 289-290 (please reread), Melanie and Bree have a conversation about the night before.  


Melanie says, "You didn't look through the telescopes last night, right?"
Bree: "Right."
Melanie: "Why?"
Bree: "I don't know."


Bree then thinks, "I have a feeling she knew exactly why I didn't look."


What do you make of this scene?  What was it all about?  Why do you think Bree didn't look?

Bree 7

Bree seems less than emphatic about talking to her parents about Claire's letter.  Why do you think that is?

Jack 7

On page 306 Jack says " a part of me will always be right here, right now, with that giant eye in the sky shining down on me, telling me it's going to be alright. What do you think Jack means by this?

Jack 7

Why do you think Jack ended up coming to the eclipse? Why do you Jack came up to Ally, and held her hand?

(from Nick)

Bree 7

Why do you think Bree decided not to tell Ally about Jack not coming?

(from Nick)

Bree 7

Why do you think Bree went to all of the unusuals? In this chapter Bree stated that she decided that she was going to ask her parents if taking care of the unusuals could be her job, why do you think this is?

(from Nick)

Ally 7

How's this Alex?  It's before noon!


Where do you think Jack has been all this time?  Why has he been so hard to find?  What do you think he has been doing?


Enjoy the Super Bowl!

Jack 6

Sorry about the timing, Alexandra -- I did the best I could.  It is still about two hours before sunset.  :-)


I guess I don't have a real good question for this chapter, so let's change things around.  Please share something you're thinking or feeling after reading this chapter and we'll respond with our thoughts.  Or, feel free to ask a question that we can try to answer based on our opinions.

Bree 6

Bree has a strong reaction when she looks at the moon through the telescope. Why do you think that is?  What does Bree realize about herself and her life?

Bree 6

Melanie and Bree have very different advice for Kenny and Ally about how to survive in a new school. Jack also offers his own take on fitting in at school. Which character’s advice and experience at school do you identify with more — Melanie, Bree, or Jack — and why? Which character would you want for your friend in a new school?
