Wave Reading Response Question

Hi There,


I guess I am the first person to post a discussion question for Wave? Yeah. So, as not much has happened so far in the book, I expect that this discussion will be kind of short... Anyways, here it is.


"What do you think Eric Walters wants the readers to learn when Sam, the Mother, and the Father go on the elephant ride up to the Temple with the Buddha? Please explain your thinking using examples from the text, or a personal experience."


 My response to the question is "I think Eric Walters wants the readers to learn that if you were willing to think about things enough, you may be able to find out what you never knew you could learn. For example, when Sam looks at the statue of the Buddha and thinks about what the Buddha looks like he had discovered, he compares it's face to the Mona Lisa and makes a connection with their calm facial expression.


Well, Farewinds! -Bree-
