Hello!

We are about two and a half weeks from the next meet up! Yay!

I hope you are all enjoying the book. Here are some questions to keep in mind while you are finishing up reading:

-What character do you feel best represents you? Why?

-What type of fury would you think you would attract?

-What element do you feel closest to?

-True or False: Power in and of itself is neutral, it is how it is wielded that makes it good or bad. What are some examples of this from the book?

-Do you feel there are any corollaries between how the Marat are viewed/treated in the book and how Witches are treated in our society?

-How do you feel about how the word "witch" is used in this book?

See you in a few weeks!!

The Marat can be representative of how civilized people treat indigenous people all the time. The civilized take the land, and then the civilized complain when the savages fight back. I actually was very attracted to the Marat.

I wish we had not missed each other on Saturday. We could have delved into question in more detail. I am still willing to meet in the future, but it would be a good idea to have somebody's cell phone number, so that Gloria and I can confirm details of the meeting before we leave for Bloomington.
