Thought Questions:

1)Was it fair for Colin and Mary to deceive the staff? Was it unkind?

A: I don’t really know if it was fair or unkind for them to do that… I would say it’s not the kindest thing to do.

2)Do you think Mary would’ve changed as much as she did if she had not met Colin? Who do you think is the main focus of the story, Mary of Colin?

A: I don’t think that Mary would’ve changed as much. I think that Mary and Colin are both kind of the focus of the book… I can’t tell which one is more of a focus.
