Thought Questions:
1)Why did Colin begin to leave the curtain open over his mother’s picture? What does that tell you about his character development?
A: Colin opened the curtain because he said that whenever he looked at her picture it made him feel like magic filled the room.
2)Was Colin’s father fond of him in your opinion? What does it mean to be fond of someone? Are fondness and love the same thing?
A: I don’t think that Mr.Craven is fond of his son. I think that to be fond of someone, you have to care about them and love them. I think that fondness and love are similar, but not exactly the same.
3)Mr.Craven us not physically present in the book very often. Do you think that he his a important character? If so, In what way? How does he influence Colin?
A: I don’t think that Mr.Craven is important, but I also don’t think that he’s not important. Mr.Craven is a bad influence on Colin because he doesn’t really even care about him, so he really isn’t a good influence on Colin.
