Question 1: Is everything only in A’s head?

Ryan: I think that A’s life is real but he changes certain things in his head to be able to cope with the reality whatever it may be.

Clara: I think that all of this is not in A’s head only because it is too much in detail everyday, and each day is so different from the last one. And that would require A so much work to make it up every single day.

Chloe: I think that everything is only in “A’s” head. I do not believe in the events of this book. I am certain that “A” is a form of illness or mental disability or even a disease. It could be a state of mind for relief. To me, any of these things are possible but it/”A” is for sure all in “his” head or maybe someone else’s.

Laura: I believe that everything is inside “A’s” head.  I feel that “A” is mentally ill disease and uses the different bodies to help cope and deal with the fact of not having a more normal life as a opposed to everyone else. this is why “A” imagines himself in bodies of others so he can deal with the troubled life he actually has.

Mason: I think that A is in a coma and is living a separate life and that’s why he is constantly in a different body.

Question 2: How does imagination affect A’s life?

Ryan: I think imagination has a big impact on A’s life, it fuels his decisions and beliefs and helps him cope with mind-numbing things that he must do in his everyday life.

Clara:Imagination affects A’s life because it changes him everyday. Because i don’t think that everything is in his mind, imagination of the person’s body he is inside of changes his personality. And it affects his life because everyday he changes body, so he changes imagination, and he changes personality.

Laura: I feel that “A’s” imagination affects and is a big part of his life because in the events of the book I think that “A” imagines his whole life but as many different people because of his illness. From reading the book I would say that “A” has a very vivid imagination, and the way he imagines is his coping strategy for its current life. “A’s” imagination runs his whole life.

Chloe:  I think that imagination majorly affects “A’s” life. Through “A’s” imagination he, has created a life for himself. He understands his daily life but does not really understand what he/she/it is or it’s purpose of living. “A’s” life is essentially, just his imagination. “A”, being a disease or a mental illness is truly and simply a state of mind based around imagination.

Mason: I think imagination is partially what motivates A Because without imagination A would not be able to create imagery of something or process thoughts  . Also I think what he imagines most is rhianon.

Question 3: Can you learn to be imaginative?

Ryan: Yes and no, I think everyone is born imaginative and that you can’t learn it but I also believe that you can strengthen this skill.

Clara: I think that you can learn about imagination, but you can’t learn to be imaginative. Everyone has imagination, and everyone’s imagination is different, but it is something that everyone has in their own way, and i don’t think you can learn how to imaginate differently.

Chloe: Yes, I believe that people can learn to be imaginative. If someone learns more about general things/topics, their knowledge increases and so does their capability to see new things with different views and opinions and they become creative. As they learn and figure things out, they are more more creative which allows them to become more imaginative. I believe imagination grows with knowledge, through creativity.

Laura: yes, I think as you grow you can you can learn to be more and more imaginative. this goes along with learning in general. As you learn and become more knowledgeable with that knowledge, you can put that towards being able to see different views and other opinions and use those make a more creative imagination.

Mason: I think anybody can be imaginative just some people don't use their imagination to the fullest. I think that you can expand your imagination not learn to be imaginative.

Question 4: Does your imagination grow or deplete as you age?

Ryan: I think your imagination actually depletes as you grow older because you are limited by more rules and laws and unable to experiment as much. More forced to do something.

Clara:I don’t think that your imagination grows or decline, but that it just changes. A four years old imagination will probably be different from a 24 years old one. Imagination changes, it does not decline or grows, it just changes over time.

Chloe: I think that as we age, our imagination depletes. We begin to focus less on imagination, and more on reality. We get so caught up in our present life, that our imagination becomes less and less active. Think back to when you were 5, we all could stand in one place, and adventure through magic worlds with simply the power of imagination. Sadly, this is not an adult’s reality, proving that slowly, imagination disappears or simply becomes less useful.

Laura: As we grow older and older I think that our imagination does deplete. We are forced to think in real life and not as much in an imaginative world. We are taught that you are to follow the rules and not make your own and because of this you're not using your imagination as much and it becomes almost inactive. in younger ages you are encouraged to think out of a box and you can say anything that comes to mind no matter how crazy but an adult could never get away with that. they want proper more mainstream straight answers that  make sense.

Mason: I think that as we grow older and the more knowledge we retain the more our imagination and capacity to learn will grow

"she has been hanging on to the hope of him for so long that she doesn't realize there isn't anything left to hope for."(p. 13)

Does imagination give us hope?

This builds on the idea that hope is reliant on imagination, if we could not imagine a better or brighter future, we could never hope for one.

"I wake up.

Immediately I have to figure out who I am. It's not just the body---opening my eyes and discovering whether the skin on my arm is light or dark, whether my hair is long or short, whether I'm fat or thin, boy or girl, scarred or smooth. The body is the easiest thing to adjust to, if your used to waking up in a new one each morning. It's the life, the context of the body, that can be hard to grasp. Every day I am someone else. I am myself---but I am also someone else.

It has always been like this."
