This new discussion was a new start and a place to be able talk about the thoughts of the story characters connections and things that would help us to be able to comprehend things in the book and express our feelings hidden inside us. This new recent lit circle discussion was more of a success compared to the one that we had done in the past. Even though, this discussion was still started by me once again just like one, it was more intuitive and the flow began to run through the conversation. The conversation that I started began explaining about how the book began to reveal more in dept action/ conflicts, thoughts, and feelings that the character revealed through her actions. Some of parts of the conversation included the fact that many people not only in novels but also in life are ignored and try to find a way out of that by acting a totally different way than what they did before. People change because they try to hide things they do not want people to see. That topic was most of the majority of the conversation.
This discussion varied from the first since their were now more people being physically active and participating in it, rather than having a few or selective amount of group, people or cluster from the group. I enjoyed this Lit Circle discussion more than the first since I literally heard the sides and point of views of different people’s in different perspective about one topic. The conversation led to many small but very interesting views that played a big part in the book itself but also in society and a basic human society’s life. The connections and opinions sparked in the conversation, the whole conversation flowed smoothly throught the time. The conversation even began to get intense in some parts, some people stood on different sides but we were able to overlook the whole thing and were able to accept both views. I also really liked how we were able to get the attention of Mr. Sutherland and we asked him a question that was answered truthfully!

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.
