Tu 03/23/10 Final Creed Questions

Congratulations on finishing a novel! 

Read the following questions regarding the end of the novel The Body of Christopher Creed, and post your responses to the blog. Use complete sentences and your best grammar and punctuation.

1. Think back to the scene in Mr. Ames' office after the police came to lunch and escorted Bo away. Do you agree or disagree with what Mr. Ames made Tory and Ali tel Mrs. Creed about Chris?

2. What reasons might explain why Mrs. Creed won't believe Torey and Ali about Chris' note?

3. In Chapter 20, Chief Bowen resigns from the police force. What are some possible explanations why he resigned (quit his job)? What good or bad events might come from his resignation?

4. What were you thinking when Torey found the Lanape burial cave in Chapter 21 and then one of the bodies started burning in an immaculate decomposition? For instance, did you think it was really Chris' body burning?

5. In Chapter 23, we find out a bit more about Chris' brother Justin. What can we infer about Justin when we learn he went to his principal and told him about Chris fighting with their mom? What did you think when you found out their mom had already heard the letter Chris sent to Mr. Ames?

6. Thinking about the outcome of the novel, what reasons might explain why Bo quit school, Torey left Steepleton to attend boarding school, and Renee and Alex broke up? What does all this say about the kids of Steepleton?
