Week 2 Discussion Question

Lily and Albert begin to get to know each other. Lily claims to not want any more friends, or to be friends with Albert, but after they find the kitten, Albert offers to feed and take care of the kitten himself. "She felt so disappointed, she could hardly finish. He didn't want to be friends. He  could have said We can feed her together, or even We can take turns." Why is Lily so upset by
Albert's actions? What does this tell us about Lily? Make sure to use details from the story to support your answer.

Please write your response in RAD format. Check your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization before you post. You should type it in your blogging doc first!

Week 1 Discussion Question

Before Lily leaves Margaret's house in Chapter 4, Margaret gives Lily a key to her house. She explains, "This is for you, the back door key. You can sneak in, come right up to the attic, and write your next five books." Why is this key such a good gift for Lily? Knowing now what you know about Lily (that she can be a troublemaker), why could this gift get her in trouble? 

Make sure to write in complete sentences using a RAD response. You should use specific examples from the book. Make sure to answer all parts of the question and edit your work before posting it to the site. You should type it in your blogging doc first so you don't lose your work and can go back and edit. Show me your best, well supported thinking!
