Hello! Here are the questions that we started to answer in class today. Although most of you are finished, I've posted them here in case you forget your book today and need to complete them at home tonight. For some of these questions, there is no "right answer" - you will need to state your opinion and support your reasoning. I have modified some of the questions based on what we discussed in class. I am not looking for a specific length for each question (though most of them will need several sentences for an adequate answer). I am looking for the quality of your answer and the examples you provide from the text.
1. Name a couple pairs that seemed "imperfect" for each other, and explain how they were imperfect.
Now, name a few pairs that turned out to be the "perfect" match, and explain how they benefited from their relationships with their partners.
2. Turtle never reveals the truth about Sam Westing and the Westing Game to anyone - not even her husband, Theo. Why do you think she keeps this a secret? Do you think you would be able to keep such a big secret from your family and friends?
3. Why does Sam Westing come up with the Westing Game? (Hint: Think about that word we discussed today: "redemption.") Do you think it turns out the way he hoped?
4/ Which of the heirs did you find to be the most trustworthy? Which did you find to be the most suspicious? Explain.
