1st Lit Circle Discussion post

The book began with many questions and uncut ends to thoughts given to the reader about what the book is about. The book began to reveal background explaining the story with vivid and strong details. In the story, there was a mix of many quotes, thoughts to self, and ideas in everyone’s perspectives. The book came on and stuck to me, since it gave the impression of what a normal high school in the country would seem to be. The high school in the story has it is making having similar to the other schools, having the components of the jocks, bookworms, cheerleaders/popular, outcast etc.


The conversation/ Lit Circle Discussion began with one person beginning it and then the others conversing and building on what with their perspective was. I began the Lit Circle Discussion by stating some of the main point of what the story was showing and demonstrating on an overall level. I began the whole conversation with stating how the main character that the story revolved around on how they acted and the reason that I believed they acted like that. To back up my thoughts and opinions I had many choices to be able to show to my Lit Circle partners. From those they included many quotes and small sections and paragraphs in some of the main parts in the big important Chapters.

The discussion went well in the thought that the people who had something important to say about what they saw and noticed were able to discuss and express it to get there point through. At one point in the whole discussion, the talking was focusing more on specific people. Another thing that the discussion had was a thought and feeling of some people being scared or ashamed of what they thought or had in mind about the book. One specific person was beginning to close about their thoughts without saying a word. As a group we tried to encourage and help the person to be able to get there point across. The point became semi accomplished in the way that the person explained their that about our specific citing in the book. Even though, as a group we would have liked to encourage more self-thoughts, inferences and connections the point was that people participated.
