 What stood out most to you?  Was there a setting that you could picture very easily? What happened there? What words did the author use that made it so easy to picture?

 What was the cause of any one of the happenings in the story? In other words, what made something happen?

What have you learned about solving the problem that you could use sometime in solving a problem of your own? What kind of trouble was he/she in?  Think of a situation that happened to a person in the story and decide whether you would have done the same thing he/she did or something different. What you might you have done in the same situation?
