Chapter Twenty-three

Oftentimes answers lead to more questions.  In this, the final chapter of the book, some questions are answered, but I'll bet you now have some questions you're wondering about.  Let's have an interesting discussion here.  What have you learned and what do you think about those things you learned in this chapter?  What questions, or what things are you wondering that you'd like others to consider?


Enjoy the Super Bowl!

Chapter Twenty-two

Sorry this is late, my friends... Please reread the first page (186) of this chapter and then do some deep thinking: What do you think the content of Woodrow's English assignment has to do with other things and other people in this story besides Blind Benny?  Please explain yourself clearly and completely.

Chapter Twenty-one

Similar to Woodrow in chapter four, near the end of this chapter, Gypsy says, "When I'm allowed to come back and live one day over again exactly as it was... this day will be considered." (p. 185)

What do you think it was about this particular day that made it so special and so memorable for Gypsy.  Please be detailed and specific in your response.
