Thought Questions:

1)”To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mid is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in, you may never get over it as long as you live.” Explain. Do you agree?

A: I think that what this is saying is that if you let one sad thing in your life take control of you then you are miserable all the time. I do agree, for most circumstances.

2)Can two opposites things exist in the same person or place (Example: Sadness and Happiness)?

A: I think that on the outside you can act happy, but on the inside you’re actually sad.

3)Was Mr.Craven a bad father? What makes someone a good father? If the book continued, do you think Mr.Craven and Colin’s relationship would be better?

A: I think that Mr.Craven was a bad dad. If someone cares and actually wants to be in their life, then that’s a good dad. I think that based on how the book ended, they would’ve bonded more.
