1. A key scene is when 3 members of the Traveling Symphony disappear without a trace in a span of a couple of days. This is important as it leads to Kristen and August later also being separated from the group while they were scouting ahead. It brings a mysterious element into the storyline as these people disappear without a trace.

2. "If I ever saw an airplane, that meant that somewhere planes still took off. For a whole decade after the pandemic, I kept looking at the sky." This quote is important to me as it shows even when it's been a decade since they have seen an airplane in real life, they still hold onto hope that somewhere there still are airplanes. It shows how they still hold onto hope that there is civilization somewhere no matter how much time has passed.

3. What is your prediction of where all the members disappeared to and what happened to them?

4. An emerging theme is the loneliness of the members of the Traveling Symphony. Even though they all travel together, they are all in different stages in life and have had different experiences making it hard to relate with each other in other ways than the Traveling Symphony.

1. A key scene can be seen during chapter 3 where, a conversation is set between two characters, Jeevan, the first character that we are introduced to and Hua, a close friend of Jeevan who works in the ICU. Where we learn about the fatality of the Georgian virus.

2. "This was during the final month of the era when it was possible to press a series of buttons on a telephone and speak with someone on the far side of the earth". I like this quote because it adds suspense to the storyline. Additionally, it can be seen as foreshadowing for future chapters which intrigues the reader to continue reading.

3. What is your favorite chapter so far? Why?

4. One of the emerging themes which are explore during these chapters can be seen as human connection. This is seen when we observe the characters and their surroundings, revealing how even during a post apocalyptic world people still find comfort having others around them that being, a town, or the caravan itself.

1. Key Scene: I believe a key scene in Station Eleven was Arthur's death from the Georgia Flu. Arthur's sudden death was one of the chain of events that lead to the collapse of the modern world. It also connects the major characters of the book like Jeevan trying to save Arthur, Kirsten (8) who witnessed the death, and Arthur's ex-wifes who became connected by her comic book.

2. Favorite Quote: "Survival is insufficient". This is a quote used by the Symphony and I feel like it conveys the idea that humans need more than food and safety to truly live. I also think that it conveys to the readers that the people that are still alive need to keep their culture alive and memory rather than forget while enduring the civilization collapse.

3. Question: Why is the phrase "Survival is insufficient" important in Station Eleven?

4. Theme: I think the theme of these 11 chapters are the resilience of civilization. In the book, despite being distraught by the flu, the people still alive and trying to survive adapting. It also conveys the resilience of the Symphony members trying to resume the arts like acting practicing for plays.

1. A key scene is when it is revealed the prophet has 4 wives promised to him. I feel this is important as it shows how he wants power and dominance, which in his eyes comes in the form of women.

2. "Will you take me with you?" (pg. 64) I like this quote because it reveals more about the city and that people want to escape this place. It adds suspense as now we want to know more about what is going on in the city that makes people living in the city want to leave.

3. What is your prediction or connection to how the Prophet and Miranda both ended up having dogs named Luli?

4. An emerging theme is tyranny or abuse of power as we see the Prophet use his power to control the town. He abuses his power to get women be his wives and goes unchecked in power as people fear him.

1. Arthur's death from the first chapter is a key scene as it started showing how dangerous the Georgia Flu is and the start of deaths from the Georgia Flu. It also showed what life was like before the pandemic struck.

2. "Of all of them there at the bar that night, the bartender was the one who survived the longest. He died three weeks later on the road out of the city." (Chapter 2) This quote stuck out to me as it foreshadows the effect the Georgia Flu will have on people. It also foreshadows people are trying to leave the city to escape the virus but unsuccessfully do as death gets to them first.

3. In chapter 11, what is the significance of the comparison of the 1594 flu to the present Georgia flu and what does it symbolize?

4. An emerging theme is how fragile life and civilization is. The story shows the before and after the flu and shows how easily civilization can fall. It also shows how easily one's life can end.

1. A key scene of this week read is when the Symphony performs in St. Deborah and encounters the Prophet (18-19). I feel like it is important as the Symphony sorta symbolizes creativity and hope while the Prophet appears to bring fear and control. Its like showing how dangerous power can be in a broken world.

2. My favorite quote this week was "The more you remember, the more you've lost" said by Kirtsen in chapter 14. I feel like this quote is a sign of comfort and pain at the same time. While Kirsten is reflecting pre-Georgia Flu, she is able to remember those memories but they are also something that haunts her in a way in this dystopian world where many people are gone.

3. Why do you think Kirsten still continues to collect artifacts before the collapse? Is it way for her and the other survivors to preserve the lost world?

4. I believe the theme of the week is the endurance of memory and time. As the Symphony keeps performing plays to keep the "art" alive, the Prophet brings back the danger of power as he twists fate into fear and taking control.

1. Towards the end of chapter 32, when Jeevan made up his mind on leaving the apartment after 47 days and tells his Frank, causing a heated conversation between the two brothers, where Frank begins reminiscing on his past and how he cannot live to see another "war zone". And their conversation comes to an end where Frank tells Jeevan that he should try to go out and survive in the post apocalyptic world, but Frank decides he will take his own life as he cannot. This scene reveals how not only do people make sacrifices for loved ones, but also survival isn't only physical it is also emotional.

2. "Hell is the absence of the people you long for". This quote shows how in human nature death isn't our toughest battle but grief and the memories of loved ones are.

3. Why do you think Kristen has such a huge fixation on Arthur?

4. An emerging theme which can be seen is death. Throughout chapters 22-33 death is explored through different perspectives and how different characters react and deal with death.

1. A key moment from this months reading is when we hear more about Clark Thompson and the group of survivors making their "Museum of Civilization". As it is alike Kirsten in the earlier chapters rummaging through abandoned areas to get items from the past like cell phones, comics, newspapers, etc. It really shows how disconnected the characters are from the past and are willing to do anything to preserve a memory for future generations.

2. My favorite quote was “I stood looking over my damaged home and tried to forget the sweetness of life on Earth.” (Chapter 26, pg. 107). This quote is emotional for Kirsten and Clark as it connects a sense of nostalgia and grief for the characters still unable to get over the past. Additionally, it defines the circumstances of the post-apocalyptic world where they have to try moving on from the past, as we know and they know that civilization can't possibly return to what it once was.

3. Why does Miranda's book "Station Eleven" keep being referenced in the later chapters?

4. The themes the book connects in these chapters are on art. Whether it is the Symphony performing plays, Miranda collecting old items, or Clark and the "Museum of Civlization". This is a recurring theme of the book, as all these characters are unable to live without the past and this heavily influences their motives through the book.

1. a key scene is when Kristen and August go fishing during heavy rain and they return to find that the Symphony is gone. They continue on the route that the Symphony would have taken but do not find any sign of them.

2. Kirsten walked by the first caravan, trying to think of nothing. A sense of being caught in a terrible dream. This quote really shows not only the difficult standard of living but also the shock that Kirsten still has. it feels like a dream, unreal, hard to grasp.

3. I really want to know what happened to the people who disapear

4. A big theme is the mystery and unknown. The people aren't sure what exactly happened what the people who has gone missing. They are also so focused on trying to stay alive they still find it hard to comprehend their predicament. There is a lot of unknown about the future of the caravan too. Additionally, the whole plot is a bit mysterious. With three separate storylines, the reader is faced with the question of when the lines will come together and relate to each other

1. A key scene from this month's reading was when Kirsten confronts the Prophet, who we learn is Tyler, as it adds tension to their fight on the ideals of art and faith in a dystopian world. Furthermore, it shows how Tyler used his traumatic childhood and used past memories (of survivors) as a way to control.

2. "Hell is the absence of the people you long for" This quote is powerful as it surrounds the devastation of the novel, addressing the characters emotions and longing for human connection. Which highlights how their memories keep them close together.

3. Do you think Tyler (Prophet) became the person he is today due to his mother's beliefs or the trauma of the pandemic (Georgia Flu)?

4. A major theme this week was faith. We are able to see how faith brought the characters together and how dangerous it can be when it can be twisted for fear. The contrast the book uses with Tyler turning into the Prophet hopes and beliefs being destroyed compared to the Symphony who still has faith in art and beauty.

1. A key scene is when Clark starts the Museum of Civilization in the Severn Airport. I find this important as society is trying to remember what life was like before the flu by creating a collection of items. The Museum is made up of items from society before the flu. It contains items like phones and credit cards.

2. "The more you remember the more you lost" This quote shows how memories aren't something comforting but instead it is a reminder of what they don't have any more. It shows how memories of the past are a blessing but also a burden.

3. What does the Museum of Civilization represent to the survivors?

4. A theme is the power of memory. This week's chapters showed how hard it is to accept the new reality when you remember the past vividly. It also shows how your memories can be a burden but it is necessary to keep your memories and not forget them as they are a part of you and your identity.

1. a key scene is when Jeevan meets Ben who is unaffected by the Flu, his whole family died within 48 hours of getting the flu. This is important as it reinforces the idea of how fast the world as changed into a dystopian setting.

2. Well, it's nice that at least the celebrity gossip survived.'" This quote was spoken by Kirsten in chapter 38. When her and August were looking through an abounded house and they found a photo of Miranda Caroll visiting a production of King Lear. Kirsten jokes that the celebrity gossip survived, which is ironic cause everyone in the photo died soon after the photo was taken.

3. Why did some random guy have an airplane scar? What is the significance?

4. A key theme in this part is the frustration, they have gotten used to life after the pandemic. Yet they are just constantly frustrated with the unknown of people disappearing. They hope for a parallel universe where technicology still exists and it could be much easier to locate each other.

1. A key scene from this week's reading is when Kirsten finally meets Clark at the airport where she is able to see the Museum of Civilization. This is a big moment as it connects 2 storylines created; Arthur's past-life and the post-collapse world where it highlights the artifacts still continue to influence and connect people decades later.

2. "The world had vanished, and yet here were people, creating music, creating art, creating connection." I picked this quote because I like how it is sorta concluding the book in a way by saying even though the world has fallen, the few survivors choose to keep rebuilding societies entertainment like theater. This is something that the Symphony and Clark have been doing in the book.

3. Why did Tyler take extreme measures after the pandemic happened?

4. I would say the same emerging theme is preservation. As now we are able to see Kirsten and Clark, characters who are known to collect artifacts of the past world, meet for the first time and is a symbol of maintaining identity. Another is hope because after killing Tyler, the Symphony is able to preserve the old world by performances showing how culture is still together even in a broken world.

1. A key scene from this week is when we learn how Tyler/Prophet gets his ideals from. We learn that at a young age Tyler is reading religious texts and his mother also shares the same type of ideas as he does. He begins to form the idea that the flu happened for a reason and only the "good" people survived. This belief will eventually turn him into the way he is in the present as the Prophet.

2. "He didn't want anything except his son" This is my favorite quote as it showed Arthur's love for Tyler. Throughout the story we were shown not so good traits of Arthur. But through this quote and scene we can see the fatherly side of Arthur, who cares a lot about his child even though they are countries apart.

3. What do you think happened to Elizabeth?

4. A major theme this week is human behavior or nature. Even though there are significantly less people in the world, we still see the bad side of humanity through Tyler. Replicating the world before the flu where there were still people who were harmful and dangerous. While the circumstances were different to how people developed to become their violent selves, due to the flu. We still see characters like Tyler becoming a violent leader, which also most likely happened to others before the flu.

1. A key scene is when Kirsten gives one of her Dr. Eleven comics to Clark so that there will be a safe copy in the museum of civilization. This is when the symphony is ready to leave and establish new territory. This is a key scene because it finally shows hope. There is a new beginning and they are still trying to better their stance even though almost everyone is dead.

2. “It was exactly like waking up from a dream.”. This quote signifies the jarring change into reality. When you wake up from a good dream it's often disorienting facing the harsh reality. Similar to the story collapse of civilization.

3. How did Jeevan get electricity?

4. At the closing of the book, a big theme is hope. Throughout the book we see the destruction of the world into a dystopian society. Yet at the end of the movie we see a new start. With tyler killed and plans of expanding territory.

1. A key scene occurs when Clark reads the Station Eleven comic, during which, he comes to the conclusion that a part of the comic is biased of him. This sparks strong emotions within Clark, as he begins to reminisce on the world before the epidemic. This moment provides him confront as he manifests behind the idea that civilization is slowly being restored.

2. "In the distance, pinpricks of light arranged into a grid. There, plainly visible on the side of a hill some miles distant: a town, or a village, whose streets were lit up with electricity." This is a turning point in the book which occurs in chapter 51. Where Clark present his discovery to Kirsten about a town with electricity. This quote provides the readers with a sense of hope, that humanity is beginning to rebuild. And the quote can feel even more meaningful due to several chapters which explored much more violent themes.

3. What role do you think that the comic book, Station Eleven, is biased off Arthur, Clark, and Miranda? Specifically the scene mentioned in chapter 55.

4. A big theme which is explored through these last chapters can be seen as memory and hope. Throughout the chapters, we can see how characters continue to have recollections of the world before the collapse, and further see this in the museum at the airport which is a reminder of the past. Another prominent theme is hope, which is intertwined with memory but can also be seen throughout the chapters mainly through the last five chapters of the novel, representing human resilience.
