Excellent questions everyone! I especially like the thread from the first question. You guys did a great job of sticking to the task and deepening each other's understanding.

Don't forget to punctuate your writing correctly... Question marks and capital letters, this is grade 7, you'll be in Senior School next year. Just do it! (Copyright NIKE)

It is stated that Thomas was not present when his parents were both struck by lightning at the same time. It is unlikely for two people to be struck at the same time and pass away. Could the errand be a distraction so that the council could kill them and take Thomas for carving their own desires?

What if the Council made up the rumour of the beasts just to scare the villagers and keep them from going to the Field of Leaving because the Council uses that place to eliminate any threats that might be dangerous for them? They could also use the place for other things as well.

Well done.

Much better on the punctuation front, keep it up.

I love how you guys will come back to your threads and read how people have responded to you, then respond again. It makes it really interesting to read through, and it's easy to follow your thoughts and to replay the conversation.

Great thoughts were expressed about the different roles of men and women in this society, and there seems to be a lot of mistrust in the council. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out!

Amazing!

Reading this thread is very interesting. I was intrigued by every question, well done by you all.

Belle proposed a very interesting theory about a possible motive for the council having something to do with the deaths of the artists' parents.

The question about what happened to Matt is very interesting too. Rachel proposed that he may have gone to look for Kira's dad, but why would he risk going there?
