Meeting two of our literature circles and I am the Discussion Director who creates five questions for the group to answer. Here are the questions and my answers and for a few of them I put the answer of the people in my group.

1.Why did Milo agree to going on the quest to save Rhyme and Reason?
My answer was that he was sad for the Which when he was in the prison with her and she would not be let out until Rhyme and Reason were rescued and brought back.
Nikola answered: "So that Milo could go back to his home.
Kai and Shai-lee answered: "He was sad for the Which and wanted to save her from prison."

2. In Digitopolis how do they get numbers?

My answer was that in Digitopolis they get numbers by mining them. They mine them the same way we mine diamonds and crystals.

3. How did Milo, Tock and Humbug get to the island of conclusions?
My answer was that Milo, Tock and Humbug got to the Island of Conclusions by jumping to conclusions because they stated, "Nothing can go wrong. We will rescue Rhyme and Reason in no time. This is going to be easy." They, quite literally, jumped to conclusions.

4. Why did Milo take sound from the Soundkeeper and returned it to the silent valley?
My answer was that he was sad for the people of the valley because they couldn't hear the beautiful sounds of the world and and nice sounds of people welcoming others and celebrating.
Kai and Shai-lee didn't know. Nikola said, "To impress king Azaz."

5. Why did the Soundkeeper take away all sounds?
My answer was that the soundkeeper took away all sounds because she thought that many of the sounds were horrible and that she didn't like them and she knew that if there were any sounds left behind even the nice ones they could become bad sounds so she decided to take away all sound.
