I feel like the book in the begginign was very good and I was excited to see what was going to happen, but in the end, I felt like we were just waiting and waiting for something to happen and nothing really was until the very end. Then in the very end, it wasnt very happy. They just decided to split up after the brief situation that happend with pablo and the old man. I liked it in the beggining, but towards the end and the ending itself I didnt enjoy as much.

# data[].attributes.body
How might life be different for each of them as a result of having spent time on the island?

# data[].attributes.body
If im being honest, i really did like the overall book. The ending is what had me though, it felt a bit rushed and also how the author described the person watching them as a beast. It made it seem like the kids were in some serious trouble, only to find out it was some old man who can't even walk unless he's using a cane. It just took the story down some, also how we don't really know how if Mel and Sam made it to civilization or not. There's just too many questions that haven't been answered, especially if there isn't going to be a second book.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this book, the beginning got me hooked almost immediately. The middle of the book is where is started to get very captivating, I found the power struggle interesting as well as the social issues that were approached. The ending however did leave me a little disappointed, it left me with a lot of questions and it was a little anticlimactic.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the beginning of the book I thought it was very hooking but towards the middle and end of the book it started to get repetitive and just very boring to me. Overall I think they could of done the ending better there was still so many questions I had that were un answered in the book and it just seemed confusion. They could of just taking the reptitive struggles out and put a bit more clarification maybe it would of answered more of our questions.

# data[].attributes.body
i liked the book but i feel like they could have made the book a little shorter. it began to drag on loosing my attention. the same things happened over and over leaving me bored while i was reading. i feel like the ending could be better if they make another book or explained in depth Mel and Sam leaving.

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think will happen to Sam and Mel will they make it back home or be lost at sea?

# data[].attributes.body
I did not enjoy Damsefly, I liked it in the beginning but throughout the book it got repetitive. The flashbacks made it confusing and not enjoyable to keep reading. I did not enjoy the ending it felt like the author just wrote something random to end the book.

# data[].attributes.body
i didnt enjoy damsefly, throught the book it was confusing with the flashbacks. the book also got very repetitve in the middle and was hard to follow. i didnt like how the book ended either. to me it felt like the author rushed the ending becuase she didnt know how to end the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I did enjoy reading damselfly, throughout the book I was definitely hooked and it was very suspenseful. I did not like the end of the book because I like knowing the end and I hate cliffhangers I just don't think it was a good way to end a book especially one like damselfly.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I really liked Damselfly except for the ending. I don't like books that end on a cliffhanger and I really wish this book hadn't. There are so many unanswered questions and I wish we were able to find out what happens to Sam and Mel like if they make it out of the ocean. Also what happens to the others that are left behind like do they die, do Sam and Mel send help for them, etc. I really hope that the author writes a second book so our questions can be answered.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed how the book was set up and the plot progression of the book. I think the artistic style and imagery that the author gave was very intriguing and kept me wanting to read more. I also liked how it ended even though it was somewhat of a cliffhanger because it allowed us to make up our minds and see futures for the characters. Some things I didn't like was that it was too unrealistic, in my opinion. Mel being a great survivalist and them finding things that ended up saving them in the future was too basic of a survival story.

# data[].attributes.body
I was disappointed. The situation of the old man being "the beast" felt predictable, but he can't do anything! He was so emphasized however turned out to be feeble and die within a couple pages! We didn't even find out what happened to everyone after.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this book but I still have some parts I don’t like. I like it because it attracts me in the middle of the book and it causes me to want to read it continually. I am not happy with some parts of it, especially the end of it. It doesn’t tell us too much about what they will do after going back to civilization but let us guess.

# data[].attributes.body
i really liked the book overall but i didnt like how many questions were unanswered like did mel and sam make it alive to get help? was the plane crash an accident or not? i really wish there was a second book or these questions were answered by the end.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not happy with all the unanswered questions left after reading the book. There was so much chaos in the last few chapters and it left me confused.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like the book couldve ended better. it seemed rushed and it left some questions unanswered. like if anyone was looking for them or why the plane crashed. i wish that they wouldve included what happened to mel and sam once they left the island

# data[].attributes.body
I think it wasn't fair that rakitta was peer pressuring Sam into telling her where the posion was. what do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
what are your thoughts on pablo and the old man being murdered? do you think they shouldve both been killed? what would you have done in that situation

# data[].attributes.body
the book ended so suddenly that I was confused that it did end because I expected more explanation to what just happened.
What do you think about the ending? Do you think the story should have made more sense at the end? do you think that the others will survive over the years?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the ending was bad because there were so many questions unanswered.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Mel and Sam will come back for the rest of the group?

# data[].attributes.body
i do not like how it ended i think it should have been more than just them riding off in the distance maybe making it alive to even get help or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think it was good or bad that Rittika poisoned the old man? What do you think would've happened if she didn't?

# data[].attributes.body
Were you satisfied with who turned out to be "the beast"? For me it felt a little underwhelming and not what I hoped.

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think of Pablo's death? Do you think this should've happened or do you wish it went differently?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think there will be a second book? I think there will be because of the uncertainty at the end. So much more could've been done.

# data[].attributes.body
How did everybody feel about the ending? In my opinion it was pretty unsatisfying, I'm assuming the point was probably to leave us with a lot of questions, but it's still super underwhelming and feels kind of incomplete.

# data[].attributes.body
did anne maries death shock you? in my opinion anne maries death did come to a shock to me because i thought she would be able to handle the pressure and stress of being on this idland while being bullied by her classmates and with the side affect of not taking her medication

# data[].attributes.body
Since only Mel and Sam left the island, do you think they will make it back to land and get help? Will the others be trapped there forever, Sam and Mel don't know where the island is and what it is called. Are they really only saving themselves at this point?

# data[].attributes.body
The ending was pretty anticlimactic. The ending was verry underwhelming and we will never know what happened to everyone. did Mel and Sam survive? Was everyone on the island resqued? What are your thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
My group finished the book, but did anyone like the ending? I did but I was a little confused. It was just Sam and her friend that went on the raft? Did her friends want to stay behind. Did anyone else think it was a little rude how they just left them on the island?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that rattika had been planning on using the frog poison the whole time?

# data[].attributes.body
Based on how they help both different teams and finally choose one that they trust. Do you think Betty and Sam are similar?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Rittika and Mel are more similar than we thought? They are both natural leaders and now with Rittika taking charge Sam is beginning to see their similarities.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the stuff that pablo was saying about rish and riddhika were true, and that's why he got so angry leading him to kill pablo.

# data[].attributes.body
If Mel and Sam make it out alive, do you think that they will send help for the others?

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think will happen to Sam and Mel now that they're no longer on the island? What do you think will happen to the others that stayed behind?

# data[].attributes.body
In the book, Sam and Pablo were talking about their interests and whatnot. Do you think the old man could've overheard their conversation and left the students alone to pay more attention to how Pablo was mainly interested in the environment? I think so, because there's no way Pablo could've found the old man on his own, especially if the old man never wanted to be seen.

# data[].attributes.body
Did you enjoy the conclusion style? What can you imagine for their futures? I think this infuriating artistic twist is great for imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
Are you happy with how the book ended? what are your thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
was the trapped Anne Marie fell in purposely made by the man?

# data[].attributes.body
After finding out that Pablo was actually alive and was with the strange man, why do you think Pablo Sayed with him and didn't go back to tell Sam?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Rittika will kill Mel? I think that Rittika will kill Mel because she is the weak link of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Rittika will use the poison on someone? I feel if Rittika gets angry she will do something horrible with it.

# data[].attributes.body
do you think everyone will get to leave the island together or even at all

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Rittika is going to try and harm Mel? I wouldn't put it past her to try find a way to secure her leadership by trying to get rid of her competition.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think because mel broke her arm the team will have to step up their game or will they ultimately fail, even though mels arm got "fixed" will she be able to work the same as she did before

Is there a possibility the nylon may be repurposed? I’m not sure how, but the use of “precious” makes it appear to have multiple values. What else could it be used for?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that the mystery man/creature Knows about the groups plan to get off the island? I think that he does know because I think that he is always watching them.

# data[].attributes.body
now that mel is injured, people are talking bad about her behind her pack and turning on her. what do you think is going to come from this? is rittika going to take charge?

# data[].attributes.body
makes me wonder if Alexis Sam's sister is taking her being missing the hardest, do you think she killed herself knowing she has already tried before?

# data[].attributes.body
After learning some backstory on Sam, do you think if her sister never yelled for her to get out the bathroom, that she would've stayed in that toxic household? I think she probably would've, especially since she already thinks about how she left her sister and feels bad because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Ritika will do something to Mel now that she's hurt? Especially since she sees Mel as a "pale" and her as a "gold".

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think the rest of the students still listen to Rittika after everything she has done?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think everyone will get on the hot air balloon? Or will people stay behind/ get left?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Pablo will come back? What do you think was the main reason he left?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Mel’s hot air balloon idea is going to work? If so, do you think that she will try to bring everyone on it or just a couple people to go get help?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Pablo is still alive? If so, where do you think he is?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Pablo leave and not come back?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think all of them are going to want to leave the island or do you think some of them are going to want to stay behind on the island?

Was the killing of the pilot intensional? Is there a possible reading behind it?, do you think that the parachute could belong to someone they know

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think there are other people who are native to the island?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the others are following Rittika due to good leadership and ideals, or do you think it is because they are scared of her, that they are possibly being manipulated or threatened by her?

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone else feel like there's something more than just friendship between Sam and her friend, the one that wanted both of them to go in the hot air balloon together? I've seen this throughout the book several times.

# data[].attributes.body
what is Anne Marie's medical condition? How does it affect her thought process and her ability to perceive reality? I think the reason she has been so emotional is that she is going through withdrawals from her medication.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Sam judging people based on their skin color? She was calling the white people goldens and the darker one's survivors.

# data[].attributes.body
do you think that anne marie is a value to the group? becuase shes not on her medication, shes able to see the island and her classmates interactions diffrently, and come up with new ideas, and not just a defenseless loser like rikkita says she is. or do you think rikittas right that shes just a burden who always needs saving.

# data[].attributes.body
Will they be able to get everyone on to the parachute? If two people go how will the others on the island know they made it to land?  so far it doesn't seem like the parachute will be able to hold enough people. They don't have any way to communicate, is it even a good idea to leave each other?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still wondering why did Mel not think of using the old parachute for a large sail for the raft? The balloon idea was pretty bold and can and did fail horribly. Why did they not use it for a sail?

# data[].attributes.body
How long do you think you would last on the island, is there anything that has happened so far that would make you go over the edge?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that because Anne Marie isn't on her meds anymore, she's more perceptive to what's actually going on around them? I think she is, mainly because any time someone in the group talks to her, she always mentions the 'beast' and how he's watching them (which is watching). So what if she's actually seen him and knows things, but everyone just passes her off as crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Ritika poisoned Anne Marie with the poison Mel collected from the poison dart frog? Why or why not? I think she might've because all of a sudden Sam can't find Anne Marie and Sam also hasn't been around Ritika for a few days, but I don't know.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think Rittika is targeting Sam and choosing to get closer to her? I think it's because she knows Sam is easy to manipulate and can get secrets, like the poision frog, out of her easily.

# data[].attributes.body
they are now trying to build stuff to get off the island, what do you think is going to work? do you think anyone is going to be left behind?

# data[].attributes.body
Rish is always so quick to defend his sister even when she is clearly in the wrong. Do you think that he will eventually stand up to Rittika and put her in her place?

Do you think sam telling ridikka about the poison mel extracted from the frog was a good idea? Do you think ridikka is going to use it to hurt/kill anne marie?

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think is going to happen with Anne Marie? Without her medication and the things that keep happening to her, I can't tell where her story is going to go from here.

Do you think they will find the enemy before he finds them or will he find them first?

Do you think there is a love interest between Pablo and Samantha? They have been working together a lot in this part of the book and he has already shared a deep secret with her.

From the pages read today, we witness how Ritikka is literally the most cruel person out of the entire group. Do you think that after some of the group stood up to her, that they'll slowly lose faith in her ability to actually give advice on what to do?
