Every Day 58-69
Period 3 or 6 or 7
April 21, 2016

Directions: Please write these answers on a separate piece of paper. Please write in complete sentences so I know what you are writing about. I will collect the work when I get back on Monday. You can work together at your tables if you’d like, but ultimately the opinion questions should not be the same as someone else’s because that would really be lame.

1. Reread the paragraph on page 58 that starts with “I don’t want to love her.” In your own words, what to do you think David Levithan is saying?

2. What do you think is in control of you, your body or your mind? Explain your answer?.

3. What do you think the point is of including day 5998 in the story? Everything the David Levithan writes should be allowing the theme to emerge? No writer would just put a random chapter in a book unrelated to its theme. Explain your answer as best as you can.  Hint, he might tell you the answer on page 68. 

4. A keeps an email that he/she/it records what happens so he won’t forget it? Do you keep any sort of diary or journal? If yes, why? How often do you write in it? How often do you reread it? If no, why not? Do you think you could start one, even for a week or so?

5. A “kind of” tells Rhiannon that Justin is incapable of love? Do you believe that some people are incapable of love? Explain your answer.

6. A is constantly interfering in people’s lives just to get to Rhiannon. Nathan seems to be the most “normal” person we have seen so far. Is it okay for A to be doing this even when A knows it’s wrong? Are we “excused” from doing crazy, weird, unordinary stuff for love? Explain your answer.

7. Of all the characters we have met so far, which one do you most identify with? Who is the most like you? Be sure, of course, to explain why.

8. There is a great song called “Bittersweet Symphony” by a great band called The Verve that you probably have never heard before. In the song, Richard Ashcroft repeats the chorus, “I’m a million different people from one day to the next.” Mr. Ashcroft, the singer, is not a spirit-thing like A, so please explain how this quote from this song can relate to a major theme in the book. How are we a different people every day? What one word theme is that?

9. What can we learn from A’s life about our own lives? This should take a few nice sentences.

10. Do you like the book so far? Why or why not?

11. What is the craziest thing that you can think of happening in the book to either A or Rhiannon?

Period 3 or 6 or 7
April 22, 2016

Directions: Please write these answers on a separate piece of paper. Please write in complete sentences so I know what you are writing about. I will collect the work when I get back on Monday. You can work together at your tables if you’d like, but ultimately the opinion questions should not be the same as someone else’s because that would really be lame.

1. Reread the last paragraph on page 71. What do you think is keeping Rhiannon in a relationship with Justin? Explain.
2. “You shouldn’t have to venture deep down in order to get to love?” In your own words, what does this quote mean?
3. Poor Nathan. Now he’s gay and he’s going to so confused. A calls himself a “monster for doing this to him.” But he said he has his reasons. Are his reasons okay to mess with someone else’s life like that? Do you like A more or less for this? Explain?
4. What does David Levithan mean on page 77 that “race is different purely as a social construction, not as an inherent different?”
5. Prediction: Will Nathan figure out A? Will Nathan disrupt A’s love of Rhiannon?
6. A admits that he is losing control. Is he telling you that love is a great thing or a problem? Explain your answer.
7. On page 83 you’ll read the word “personwise.” What does this word mean? Who is someone you like personwise? What makes you like them?
8. Is A the type of person you would want to date? Explain why or why not. Remember, A is only a personality so you can’t talk about physical characteristics. This should be a nice, well written paragraph full of honesty and opinions.
***Okay, if you finished this, get reading. You have to be to page 111 by Monday and it’s supposed to be nice outside so I’m sure you’d rather be reading here today than during the weekend. I hope to see you Monday. I’ve missed you.
