Discussion Director

Hey Mr. G sorry it's late but I worked hard and here it is...

1. Why do you think Henderson cared so much for Marc?

I think the reason Henderson cared so much for Marc is because he wanted a kid of his own. Marc is independent and a good kid. Henderson noticed this and helped Marc out when he had nowhere to go. At first I thought Henderson didn’t like marc and just wanted him to buzz off. Now I have realized that Henderson and marc have created a strong bond. If I were Marc I would feel very lost and confused. I ran away from my orphanage and I have nowhere to go. How would you feel if you were in that position? Then Henderson comes out of nowhere and lets marc come with him. This is very lucky for Marc. Henderson also said to marc that one day he would want a kid of his own but since he’s a spy it’s very hard for him. Marc and Henderson have been through a lot together and I hope that when they get through it, they will start a new life together.

2. Do you think Rosie will ever see Paul again?

I personally think that Rosie will see Paul again. It may be hard but Rosie is a smart girl and can find her way around places. On the contrary Rosie has been through a lot. I mean how would you feel if your dad just died, a good friend just died and you’re left on your own with nowhere to go? I know I wouldn’t know what to do. One time when I was really young I was skiing in whistler with my dad and then suddenly for a few minutes I couldn’t find him. I was very worried and I got this nervous feeling in my stomach. I know that Rosie’s situation is much worse but it’s the same idea and I can relate to Rosie.

3. How did you react when Hugo died?

I felt very surprised. It was heartbreaking to read that a silly mistake resulted in Hugo’s death. Since Rosie, Paul and Father Doran new that Herr Potente was coming to kidnap Rosie and Paul they were prepared to kill him in order to save themselves. Herr Potente was disguising himself as Henderson and Rosie and Paul knew this. Father Doran has his gun ready and they did manage to kill him. I was glad when they killed Potente because he was such a bad man and tortured Marc earlier on in the book. Although the consequence that came with killing Potente was the death of Hugo. When Hugo died no one could speak, everyone was too shocked. Who wouldn’t be? I feel really bad for Paul because he was just starting to get over the death of his father. Rosie being the older more mature one got over the death quicker. Paul on the other hand was shocked and it took him much longer to get over it.

4. What do you think would have been different if Paul, Rosie, Marc and Henderson all stayed together?

Firstly, I think Rosie and Paul would have felt much safer with Henderson and Marc by their side. Henderson is a very smart man who always has a plan up his sleeve and Marc is a good help. Henderson has proved that he can protect Marc very well and cares very much for kids. When Marc and Henderson left Paul and Rosie on the boat to England, that’s when everything changed. The boat was bombed by Germans and crashed. If Henderson and Marc were there I think that they would have had a better chance of staying together. Henderson has been in many challenging situations and he knows what he’s doing. If I were Paul or Rosie, I would have felt much more safe with and adult with me. Kids don’t have that much knowledge of what to do in those kinds of situations and Henderson, being an adult, does. I hope Marc and Henderson meet up with Paul and Rosie sooner or later to help them out.

Discussion Director Questions

Mr. Gelmon I was not here to hand in my questions and answers today, so here they are:

Discussion Director Questions By Jonah 7B
1. Why does Pi think animals should live in a zoo?

Pi thinks animals should live in a zoo because he grew up in a zoo and sees how much good care the zoo animals get. He thinks it is better because there are no predators,
get three square meals a day while in the wild you might only get one meal a week and they get lots of health care.

2. How come Pi parents are so against him being three different religions?

They want him to be Hindu and only Hindu. He is born a Hindu and will stay Hindu. They do no think he should be Hindu, Christian and Islam.

3. Why were the Japanese men throwing Pi off the ship?

They wanted to use Pi as bate. If they fed him to Richard, then Richard would not eat them.

4. How do you think Pi feels about the zoo closing down forever?

He grew up in the zoo for his whole life and to lose the zoo it is like losing family. He is devastated. Pi has an amazing connection with the animals and that connection is broken.

5. Do you think Pi grew up in poverty?

I think Pi grew up in a middle class area but as he got older he got poorer so he ended up in poverty in the future.
