Literature Circle Meeting 8

Although there were many long stalls in our last meeting because we couldn't find much to talk about, I still had a chance to contribute a little. First, I answered Andrew's question about why Katie starts toi care less when Francie and Neeley fitght. I explained that it is because Kaite has grown older and wearier; she has more to worry about than her kids fighting. Also, I answered another question of Andrew's about why Francie takes in every apsect of the moment when she finds out about the war starting. I told him that Francei doesn't only want to remember the day, but instead relive it. As a group we talked about the meaning of the tree, but not as much as previous times. Becasue our last reading was so long and had so many things happen in it we couldn't pick one thing to tackle and therefore had many stalls.
