Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yep, Brenda, that's a concern. The truth is that almost any question can be faked with a little ingenuity (as we all know, I suspect). Do you have other suggestions?
Hmm...maybe I could ask them to identify a dynamic character and describe the change they see from the character at the beginning and at the end.
Some of what they read is nonfiction, so I also need to think up some questions that will apply to things like Sedaris and Krakauer.
Mom~ma heading in Suzi's direction.
Kristin, the first thing I thought of is relationships.
* Describe the relationship between two characters in the book and how it changed/developed over the course of the book, maybe?
* Describe a character from the book, would you be friends with him/her if you met?
Mom ~ma for Suzi!mom
You all rock for giving me this feedback, THANK YOU.
Thanks y'all. We are in a Catholic hospital and there are portraits of Jesus all over the waiting room. It is kinda creepy. I can see how it might be comforting for some, but I feel like I'm being watched.
AND for whatever reason I can't get the free wi-fi to work on my home computer, only my work computer, so the stuff I had bookmarked to read and work on are not accessible. Blast.
Bunches of Mom~ma, Suzi. Plus a helping of chill-ma for you.

Don't worry, he's only keeping an eye on Catholics. You're free to commit whatever hospital related sins you can come up with.
I didn't read any of Moby Dick past the first chapter, but I knew Mr. Berryhill's habits so I read the footnotes. I slamdunked all the quizzes and the test. Of course, I also got to read Lord of the Rings as extra credit and had great discussions with him about LotR, so it was just a matter of hating Moby Dick.
Suzi, some ~ma heading your family way. Stay sane. The ~ma should work, and all will be fine.
Continued ~ma for Sean & S, y'all are always in my thoughts.

PixK, so if they clearly didn't read the book, but have really creative answers, do you give points for Creative Writing? Or is that a different course?
I like the questions that bring it more personal rather than the movie/actor ones. Maybe a question about what life lessons can you take from this book.
And again, I'm eating lunch at damn near 4pm. Uggg.
