Lit. Luminary Week 6

Page 289-293

Trevor had met the president that day. He was honored. Later that day, he saw a couple guys getting beat up and mugged and he had tried to mix in. He was listed as critical condition in the hospital and was undergoing surgery. He had passed away later that morning.

I think its surprising that he passed so soon after all the good deeds he had done.

How do you think his mother will react to this?

Discussion Director Week 5

What about Arlene do you think Reuben likes about her?

Do you think it's weird that Reuben went to Arlene's work and acted like he didn't know that she worked there? Why or why not?

Why do you think Reuben is so insecure about himself?

Week 5 Connector Ocean

On pages 242-244 Reuben does something that he's not quite sure about. When he actually does decide to do it, he later regrets it.

Have you ever done something that you weren't sure you should do, and then when you did it, you felt ashamed or regretful? Explain why you felt that way.

Is there someone you know, or have heard about in magazines, like a celebrity, that keeps going back to someone or something that is not necessarily helping them, but for some reason they continue seeing that person, or doing that thing? To clarify, an example of someone who isn't doing anything good for the person could be a bad friend, or an ex. An example of something that is not necessarily good for someone could be drugs, alcohol, self-harm, or prostitution. If so, what are they doing, and why do you think it may not be good for them?

Reuben seems to lay low, and not always speak up for himself. What are some times in this book that you think Reuben could/should have stood up for himself, and what could he have said?

I think its sad that even Trevor doesnt like Ricky, and hes his dad. Usually boys worship their fathers, but Trevor doesnt like him.

Discussion Director Week #5

Why do you think Sidney G felt it was necessary to lie to the public in his interview about him being the creator of project "Pay it forward" ?



How do you think this lie affected Trevor and his family?




What do you think is the best thing for Trevor to do about the situation? what would you do if you were in Trevor's shoes?

Week 4 Literary Luminary

In Chapter 21, page 200, Sidney G is being interviewed by Chris Chandler in Prison. Sidney G is claiming that he is the person who came up with the Pay it Forward idea. Chris plays along with this, and pretends that he believes Sidney G.

When i first read this interview, it made me a bit mad. The reason it made me mad is because Trevor should have been getting credit for his idea. Not Sidney G. I was, however, glad that Chris was only playing along, and didn't actually believe that Sidney G was the creator of such an innocent, and good-hearted idea.

When you read this interview, what were your initial reactions, and thoughts? Why did you feel that way?
