Questions for Terra Nova Week

1. Why is Hollis so determined to stay with Josie?

2. Do you think Hollis sees herself as someone that doesn't deserve a family? Why or why not?

A few questions since you asked...

Hi Hollis group! SR write a nice blog, but of course I messed up and deleted it. Here’s the summary:

She REALLY wants me to post another question. She REALLY wants you all to keep up the blogging. Also, she wants you to know that something really sad happens in the book soon, but she won’t tell what. Finally, she wants to know why you can’t just do your responses on the blog instead of hand writing them because it’s easier to type.

SR, here are my answers. You could totally type your responses, print them out and bring them in. And (drum roll please…) here are some questions:

• Josie's cousin Beatrice says "And sometimes what you see is so deep in your head you're not even sure of what you're seeing. But when it's down there on paper, and you look at it, really look, you'll see the way things are." (p. 45) What do Hollis' pictures say about the truth?

• Why do you think the chapters of Hollis' memories are titled First Picture, Second Picture, etc instead of Chapter One, etc?

My computer is not cooperating...

Ladies,

If you sent me a post today and it's not up, it's because my computer is not cooperating and it deleted 5 posts. I think SR, WTC and MMM all sent posts today, so if there is something that is not up, and you really want it posted, please resubmit!

Hey Hollis group!In the book you are about to read, pictures are an important part of Hollis world. Pictures can come in different forms. They can be photographs, drawings and sometimes even mental images. Think of a picture that has meaning to you. It may make you feel a certain emotion, remember a specific situation, or remind of you someone important. Describe this picture and its meaning to the group.
