TME Week 5 & 6 Book Club Questions

  1.  One of the main characters throughout the story that was being courageous throughout the story was Peter because he had gathered everyone up together to be reunited with his sister again, and that to me, took a lot of courage.
  2. I look forward to my future and think of me being either a veterinarian or a chef in about 15 years. Those are my dream jobs, and I love being around animals, and although I don’t know how to cook yet, it has always been a goal of mine to accomplish.
  3. I give my book a 4 str rating because it was a short and sweet book, but I feel like it was a bit boring and the author could have added more excitement with a different plot, or more things the main character has to get past, cliff hangers between chapters, and more intensity. Overall, I do enjoy the theme and plot of the book, I can admit it has a good storyline and I like that they added many different things on the way to get to his sister such as the fortune teller, random people in line, the dream, the elephant, etc.

Week 3 & 4 Questions The Magician’s Elephant

  1. Peter is feeling hopeful with possibilities because he had meet the elephant, and figured out what the fortune teller meant by the elephant. Peter now knows what he needs to do to find out if Adele is alive or  not.
  2. I don’t think Adele behaved as a bully in the story, Peter had a dream of Adele crying in the room and he was surprised and confused.
  3. If anyone is being picked on or bullied I think they should go tell an adult about it, and not interfere with them by turning it into an argument and telling them or doing stuff that is also bad, it wouldn’t make anything better.
