Discussion Highlights:
- Why do they want to go to Japan even though there is a bunch of persecution?
- The book has kind of a slow start but seems like it will get better.
- I think the book was a little boring and isn’t something I would typically read on my own. Hopefully as I go on in the book it will become more intriguing

Discussion Highlights:
- We are wondering what a fumie is.
- We could not believe that the one time that God talks to Rodrigues is when he is basically telling him to turn away from him.
- Ferreira is lying to Sebastian when he tells him that “Jesus would have apostatized” by now.
-
- Why would Rodrigues apostatize after everything he has been through even though Jesus told him to apostatize.

Discussion Highlights:
- Why are they keeping the priest alive with the fact that they are moving him from prison to prison?
- Will Kichijiro betray them again? After his first betray will they think different of his actions and how he is a person?
- “As I walked along the shore I spoke to myself like a mother soothing her child. What was I afraid of? I knew the way”
- “Lord, why are you silent? Why are you always silent…?” On Page 98. We think that this quote has relation to the title of silence. While they are praying and other are getting killed in Japan, the Lord has not really shown anything. Is that why the book is called Silence?

Discussion Highlights:
-We were shocked that the guards just decapitated a man for not changing his faith, this will probably continue to happen in the future.
- How does God being “silent” change the views of the religious people? Because God to them is being silent they just decide to apostatize.
- God eventually was no longer silent after he was talking to Rodrigues before he was about to go through pain.

1. We did good on sharing our opinions about the first few chapters of the book.
2. One thing we can work on is finding more evidence to talk about more related in the book.
3. One thing we are all in agreement with is that we would not really look at this book and say we want to read it but we hope that by the end it is more intriguing and something that we would pick up.

1. Our book club was pretty productive but maybe one day the focus was lacking a little bit. We were able to get all the work done and have some good discussions. We exchanged our own ideas and opinions about the book every week and it was fun to talk to people who read the same book as you in detail.
2. What are some themes for the reflection essay? Some themes for the reflection essay are individualism, hope, faith, and patience.
3. What creative assignments should we do for the project? One creative assignment would to possibly help a cause if something that we read in the book. Another creative assignment would be to make a script and a video about one part of the story.

1. One thing we can do to have better journal entries is if we did more of a reflection and our thoughts on the chapter than a summary.

1. Todays meeting was good, we further discussed important things about the book. We foreshadowed what will happen later in the book. We also analyzed some quotes and what they have to do in relation with the text. We are looking forward to reading more so that we can learn more about what will happen with the persecution of the Christians
